get one of these from Jaycar
Double Blade Fuse Socket Wire Tap | Jaycar Electronics (https://www.jaycar.com.au/double-blade-fuse-socket-wire-tap/p/SF5115)
and plug it into a fuse that is live when the ignition is on.

On my 2.2 puma it was a 15 amp fuse (F12) that was for the wind screen washers and wipers under the drivers seat. I fed that wire from there then under neath the vehicle back into the battery box and had my fuse box in the battery box.
