the yellow wire in the radio power plug is switched , the brown wire in the ignition switch harness is "key on" accessory , the orange wire in the ignition switch harness is also"key on" accessory , the pink wire in ignition switch harness is "run" wire , or you could just use a spare terminal in the fuse box ,lots of options there.
