Subject:      '87 Radio Power Source

Hey Now!

I'm am installing a CD player in my '87 GL.  I'm wondering about a
switched power source for the radio.  The ones I've found are only "hot"
when the key is in the "ignition on" position and I can hear the fuel
running.  Is there a source that is "hot" when the key is in the
position just before the "ignition on" position so that the CD will play
without having the fuel pump run?  I found one source that was "hot"
when you inserted the key in the ignition, but it didn't carry a current
in the "ignition on" poistion.

TIA
