[Audi a4 2003 b6] Factory fitted chorus radio without bose unit installed.

I have upgraded my radio and discovered that there was no ignition wire, then found out it was within the canbus. I took a feed from the fuse box to get around this.

Now... when the ignition is on the radio works fine, when the ignition off the radio switches off BUT the factory fitted radio only switched off when i removed the key from the barrel.

Question - is there a wire i can tap into to enable this feature? Whereby the radio will only turn off when the key is REMOVED from the barrel. I have uploaded a picture hoping that someone would be able to tell me if any of these wires would work?

thank you

NO not really, the factory radios have an input to sense the key is in the barrel, most non VW radios wont have this

You need a canbus emulator.
