agree,

That way u dont need to forget to turn it off when the key is removed.
Fed the power from under the bonnet via the fuse panel.

How do you source power from the drivers under dash fuse box? I can't seem to find any exposed terminals.
Do I need to wire into an existing plug or splice into a wire?
How did others do it?

1. You can trace the wires from the ignition switch, find the one with accessory power and tap in. Solder the connection and fit a fuse.
2. You can find an accessory circuit fuse and fit a fuse tap, see pic, available from Jaycar $6.95.
3. You can read the wiring diagram in RAVE find a suitable wire and tap in.

If you don't have a test light or multi meter I suggest you have one on hand before proceeding.

Look at the fuse panel under the dash. There's a couple of connectors there.
Ones live the other switched power.

Spot on guys
