Anyway, not sure what pin it was but on my car, it was the blue and black wire. Couldn't tell if it was black with a blue stripe or vice versa. And it turns out I didn't use the clamp. I spliced and soldered this wire in.
But you're right. Before, I could play my stereo without the ignition on. Now, the ignition needs to be turned on for the radio to work.

Thanks. I think I will get the switched power off the fuse block after all.
I started dismantling the dash today, the objective is to get full access to the radio cavity and get the radio surround on the bench for easier adjustment of the new cage.
But I hit a brick wall. I do not know how to remove the plastic frame with the cupholder and the two vents. I got the "horseshoe" off (boy were those colored switch connectors a B&#%£ to get off), loosened the four Torx screws plus the two holding the metal radio support bracket, but there is something holding the vent/cupholder section still that I don't know how to deal with.
I thought it would be just a couple of clips, but I have pulled pretty hard and I feel if I pull any harder it will break into pieces.
Or do I need to remove the cupholders and vents separately? Appreciate some quick help.
