Trying to get my aftermarket radio to work properly.
It is a 82 European 315

1. Constant power wire, and
2. Ignition powered wire

violet with a white stripe is switched wire for radio (plus)..i dont think there is a factory constant(plus)might be a case of slicing a wire with a fuse to either the cigarette lighter (which is always live on my car )or possibly the red wire to the ignition switch again with a inline fuse for protection.....
