To turn the stereo off with the igniton, you would have to find a power source that is hot only when igniton is on.
I would not reccomend that as head units are sensitive and might not take to being forced off other than by button.

You can use a test light to find an < "Igniton on" power source. Using this it would lose power with the igniton off. You can get an "Add-a-Tap" from auto parts stores in the electrical section to add a fused terminal connector to your fuses.
