12V ignition power source from where..?

[Argenta]

Well hello, I've been trying to install a speedcamera warner in my Coupe which feeds on 12V.

Preferably the power which is only on when the engine is on, i.e ignition mode.

Where can I find a suitable source?

I've been looking under the ashtray area but the ashtray lamp actually gets only 5v and the cigarette lighter has constant live 12v.

Cheers!

For my dash cam I used the purple/white wire in the rear view mirror.

If you are looking at the lighter area then go across to the fuse box and use a fuse tap on a switch fuse.

This may help if you go to the fuse box

If you add your own in line fuse you can also just put a spade connector straight into an empty fuse slot.

Wow, thanx!

To add to the diagram above there are actually 3 fuse statuses 1) battery fed; 2) aux fed; 3) ignition fed.

Fuses 12,13,14, 28 and 47 are auxiliary fed (but will also be on with ignition).
