Aftermarket Radio Doesn't Power Off

Hi,

Apologies if this has been asked before.

I have purchased an aftermarket radio for my VW Polo 2010 and it doesn't switch off with the ignition.

I kind of know why this is now, but was wondering what is the easiest way to connect to a switched power source.

Someone advised running the cable to the fuse box and using and ATMDT connector. Is this the easiest way or could I connect to another feed in the centre console area?

Thanks

I'd take the fuse box.

Thanks iichel, that being the case does anyone know the best fuse to piggy back off of?

Any fuse that has 12v with key to on position.
