Radio Question

Just installed an aftermarket radio. Cant find the ignition wire. I used a test light on all the wires and can't seem to find the ignition. Can anyone tell me the wire color for the ignition wire. Also i used the radio wire harness and got everything to work properly except the ignition. any help would be appreciated. Did a search and couldn't find anything.

The blue wire is to power the amp.

I had mine wired to the cig lighter as well.

Btw, if you have a CD stacker that came with the car, you'd want to remove all CDs first before removing power from you existing head unit.
