       Myron, what you can do is use the now unused power feed wire to that 
relay that is coming from the main fuse panel.  Disconnect it from its 
terminal and then find the power input of the number three fuse which is for 
cabin power, radio and cig. lighter receptacle.  Cut and splice this to the 
wire going back to the relay.  Connect the end that was connected to the 
relay to your aux battery and viola you now have your cabin lights, radio and 
cig lighter receptacle on the aux battery power.
       For turning the radio off, yes you could use a remote switch.  Better 
solution is change out the radio for one with a remote control.  I'm just now 
installing a Jensen MP3510 which has a remote control.  My original VW 
radio/cassette had a remote control but the cassette mechanism stripped a 
gear and I have had no success in finding a repair part so I decided to 
upgrade to a CD/MP3 unit with aux input for a tape deck.
