If it came with a switch take the switch power wire and tap it into the red wire behind your stero deck, that wire is on only when accessories are on, this is how i did mine and they were the esuse brand.

you could just tap into the positive wire for the cigarette lighter. that's what i did for my XM radio. that way the XM shuts off when i turn the car off.
