How to get non audi radio go off with ignition off

You get ground and "always power on wire" with ISO radio connector, but not a power cable that goes off when keys(ignition) off.

You can get a "ignition on live wire" from fan controller just under the radio(fan control/ climate control). Just pull the plug out , fist left cable(number 5 above the connector ) is go live with ignition on. Radio will power down as soon as keys off.

make sure you put good insulation tape around newly cut cable. i've tested this setup, works grate, also checked with VAGcom to make sure no interference or erros.

Was never sure if this was possible with a non-climate car, so thanks for clearing that up!

If anyone wants an alternative, you can source a switched live from the fusebox (this is what I did)
