Subject: Ignition switch question

Hi all

On my 85 Jetta the stereo is wired in such a that when the key is inserted
into the ignition (and not turned) the stereo will power up.
I  would like to wire my new stereo in my 85 van this way as apposed to;
a.- the ACC lead off the stereo wired to the battery, thus having to use the
power to switch on the stereo to turn it on and off.
b.- the ACC lead wired to ignition in such a way that the stereo is powered
on when the key is turned.

I would have thought that the ignition switches would be similair if not the
same as both vw's are 1985.
I have tried to find if there is a wire coming off the ignition switch that
powers up when the key is inserted and not turned. (by means of a meter and
no bentley)
Can't seem to find one that powers up when the key is inserted?

any ideas...

thanks
