best place for a switched live?

[MrDan]

Hi there, just come to fit a new stereo into my mk3 8V and the wiring behind my dash is a bit of a mess (immobiliser + various other projects) from previous owners, and i have a very flaky live and no switched live, iv run a new live from the battery but was wondering wheres the best place to hijack a switched live from?

the only thing i can think of is the heated rear window switch?

Any ideas?

ive hijacked from rear window too as mine was a mess and there was no switched live. i hijacked from there and installed a matching fog light switch to switch on n off my computer. my radio was never switched live i had to turn it off meself

You should have a switched wire for the radio on the mk3 which is a BROWN wire with a RED TRACER through it ( 0.5 ) this is switched live when the ignition is turned on and should stay live ( even if the ignition is switched off ) until the key is actually removed from the barrel..
