Just fitting a stereo to my Mk3 Golf and having a little problem: I don't seem to be able to locate the ignition power line (i.e. the one that only comes on when the key is turned) - I managed to get it to work by connecting it directly to the battery along with the other power line but I have two questions:

1 - Will I be ok doing this so long as I don't leave the stereo on when the engine is off?

2 - Should my car definitely have this connection? I was doing it with minimal lighting so it may be worth another look....

Any help would be much appreciated.
