I have the radio out of the car and I am looking for a ignition switched wire. I have only found powered wires, no ignition switched 12v. Please help me find it. i could use the cigarette lighter, but I can't get it disassembled to get to the wire.

Look at the second picture...it is the terminal to the left (it's the yellow one).<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1809750.phtml">Link</a></li></ul>

If you are going to tap into that terminal, I'd suggest an inline fuse unless you like flaming Audis.

in-line fuse as *close* to the post as possible.

Center section here is switched +12VDC

Of course, any add-on electrical accessory should include its own fuse, even if you tap off an already-fused circuit, such as the cigarette lighter (which is probably 10-15 amps).

How do I take off the lower panels to run the wire from the fuse box to the radio bay? I saw two screws, but it doesn't remove the metal pan underneath. thanks for the help. It saved me a lot of time searching.
