Exclamation Switched 12v Accessory Wire / Bypass Door Open Switch

Hello,

I am looking to find a switched 12v wire that becomes live when the key is inserted and in the first position before pressing start button but DOES NOT turn off when the driver door is opened.

Not the cigarette lighter sockets, these only become live when the start button is pressed/ignition is in 2nd position.

I have found a 12v switched wire that is perfect however if you open the driver door then the wire loses power.

This is very irritating as it means if I open the driver door it shuts all my music off, because I am using the 12v switched wire to activate a relay switch that sends a 12v to my amp for all my speakers, meaning the passengers can't continue listening to music unless they remove the key and put it back in.

I have noticed that it is only the driver door being opened that shuts off the power to the switch (passenger doors do not affect it).

The perfect solution to this would be to somehow override the switch in the driver door that tells the computer to stop sending power to the wire.

Alternatively, is there a 12v switched power wire that does not turn off when the door is opened?

I appreciate any help at all!

Thanks
