Accessory radio remote turn on

Hello,

The old radio in my 68 cutlass had the remote turn on wire going to constant 12v so it was always on. I've been trying to find a wire to use that is powered when the ignition is either in accessory or on. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help!

At the fuse panel there is a terminal marked ignition. I believe the original radio power wire was pink.

The power wire for the original radio does what you want. Look at the wiring diagram in you CSM and you'll find which one it is.
