I need to find out "+12V a key-switched input v. completly off without a key"... I used the wire from a light switch (it is off and goes on with turning the key on... but goes off once you turn the lights on)... so no good :-( it does not have to be very powerfull but more than the one for the LED-sign in warning lights :-)
thanks in advance for help .-)

I could help but you need to be a little more specific as to where you want these power sources. On the car there are 3 types of power sources

T30 - always on
T30G - on until the car goes to sleep
T15 - On only when the car is running

In the front fuse box there are no T30G that I've found. The lighter sockets are T15s and in the rear fuse box there are a combination or T30 and T30G.

Thx for input, I need that T15 wire somewhere up front, around streering wheel (or aroud it) would be perfect... are there any in that light switch? or some from that powerlock unit? I did not want to try every single one :-)
