Most factory radios do not have an amp turn on wire. You will have to get power from a switched source. Depending on what kind of vehicle, you could use the switched wire on the radio.

Yeah, I knew that already, which is why I was gonna give him my old Alpine HU, but he wanted to keep it factory, which is why I postulated the toggle switch with the power lead tapped from the factory HU's hot wire.

It will be either BLACK/ Pink. Or Yellow/Black depending on the motor option and the Mach or standard audio system. Use a volt meter to verify this before just connecting one of these wires.
