        Don't do what I did and wire the radio feed to the Air conditioning switched 12v supply. The radio goes off at -5 deg C as the car switches off the A/C to protect it!

            I can't remember how I wired in the ignition live on my S2, but this is always an option for those not comfortable chopping their factory wiring up: http://www.acvgmbh.de/shop3/product_...-ignigen.html&
