Ok, Looking to install a radar detector and rear seat entertainment system. Ran all wires but I cant find a switch circuit that turns off when the car is off. Anyone have any idea's which wire in the radio stack I can tap into? Any help would be greatly appeciated?

You won't find any ignition power at the radio. You need to tap into a circuit in one of the rear fuse boxesn that is activated with the ignition. Use it to trigger a relay that is connected to a good battery source.
