Default wiring aftermarket cd deck into my '00 cavy.

I have a JVC aftermarket cd deck installed in my car. The only problem is the deck is wired to the constant 12v wire from the stock radio, the new cd deck wont turn off because the power is always on.

I need to wire it to a 12v wire that turns on and off with the key switch, my question is, whats the easiest way of going about and doing this?


Thanks,
Mark

Take the power cord from the radio, and splice it to the in dash fuse box(located at on the very left side where the dash meets the door.) I'm not sure what the piece is called that will couple the wire and the fuse itself, but run it into either one of the ign fuses or the acc or acc sec fuses. This will definitely correct your problem. Sorry if this post is a little consfusing I'm a little intoxicated.
