    I have a 1996 Dodge Neon 2.0 SOHC. I am looking for a 12v switched
    power source for a 2-way radio. I currently have it wired direct to
    the battery, but I would like to have it come on and off with the rest
    of the electrical in the car. The radio's technical specs say that it
    would pull a max of 10amps when transmitting. Any ideas on where I can
    tap into a switched power sourced?

    I would be inclined to use a separate relay for it and tap the control
    terminal for the relay into an appropriate point, e.g., the existing radio.
