Ignition only wire under the bonnet?

Same clips as most of the dash, you have to pull hard from the bottom the top is held in by lugs the bottom by clips.

Dragging out an old thread but is most relevant to what I'm after and a lot of time has passed so hopefully someone has investigated things further.

Has anyone found an easy accessible ignition source under the bonnet, not looking for any major current just enough to pull in a relay (30mA).

In the engine bay, I use the active leg of fuse 9 to get power that's only active with the engine is switched on. I use this to power daytime running lights, ?Navman GPS?, ?Scanguage II? and Engine Watchdog? gauges.

The connector to the fuse block is a Narva crimp on connector that I have cut one leg off then run to an in line fuse then on to my accessories.

if its for a van...

isnt there an aux supply that does that already fitted down the back of the vehicle? why not just use that to trigger a relay down the back end of the vehicle?

even smarter why not do it via A VSR on the head of the relay so it wont come on unless the voltage is up and the ignition is on?

Might depend on whether you're pre or post 2010. It made a difference when wiring my DRLs (I put it in a thread somewhere). I was told to use the horn wiring of all things but that's active with the ignition, not just when the engine is actually running. That could be trickier?
