There is no original wire which goes with the ignition. There is yellow wire fed into the ISO which should be ignition but it isn't. If you want a switched wire then IIRC take the yellow and black one from the cig lighter (fiddly to get at), or take a wire feeding leds in the centre console or clock.

Mine is switched to the cig lighter, but that's because I had the entire centre console & ash tray out recently.

Must be yellow then. I thought the three wires were - red; yellow/black & black. But it may be solid yellow as opposed to yellow/black. It's hard to see as the connector is in a difficult to reach place. Bockers traced it back further up the loom and spliced into it there.

As I said there is also the clock feed - can't remember the colours there though.

No problems, it's a pain in the arse that it doesn't go off with the ignition. Can you confirm that it was a solid yellow wire?
