Radio Install- Power question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm installing my Retrosound Radio with a friend, and we are wondering what to hook the radio up to so that it is only on when the truck is actually on? I've never done a radio install before, and he has only done a few. Right now we have it so that the radio is constantly on, we would like to be wired so that it goes off when the truck is off, what do we have to do?

at the fuse box there is a terminal labeled radio, run it to there and it will only be on when ignition is on. you will still need a constant hot for the memory
