Default Power feed from radio?

Hi

I need to wire something into my ignition so as long as the ignition is
started then my piece of kit is active.

I was provided with the power cable to do this with when I purchased the
device. It was recommended that I take the power out the back of my radio -
however, I don't know how to do this.

Can anyone in here help me? There are that many wires at the back of my
radio!

Thanks in advance
Oli

Best to get a voltmeter and test the wires coming out of the back of your
stereo. The wire you're looking for will most likely be red or yellow. You
want the one that's live when the key is turned onto accessory, not the one
that's on permanently.
