Ekstra hot 12v by stereo
I have installed a cassette player in my 82 and looking to also install a bluetooth dongle and an active noise filter on the power wire to the player. Both of these require power and ground.
Im a noob at car stereo stuff, but i guess they could benefit from having a separate 12v supply than the cassette player?
Any advice on where to grab extra power? Im not using my power antenna (no am/fm in Norway any more, only DAB 😂
Would the antenna 12v wire work for my needs, or is it only on when the radio is active?

First, what make and model number is the cassette deck you installed?
Or show some detailed photos of it...
Your 82 original radio wiring should include 2 power connectors.
One should be a 2 wire connector (orange & black wires) and the orange would be Hot at all times for radios memory.
The second connector should have 3 wires, a Yellow a Black and a Grey.
The Yellow wire is a fused switched ignition source.
The Black wire at both connectors are grounds.
As far as Bluetooth adapter/dongle, unless your new deck already has internal Bluetooth capability you will need a external auxiliary 1/8" stereo jack input provision for a adapter/dongle.
