Default Rear end ignition live

As title really, is there anywhere in the boot area that has an ignition live I could piggy back onto for something I have in mind?

Maybe a silly question I know but instead of ripping te whole boot area apart I thought one of you chaps would know.

Thanks in advance.

CD player, sort of. Depends on what you want it for as that's limited power, but I'm using it for TV (or will be soon when I finish off the job).
TV has a different feed if you have that.

Hmmm if its only limited I might take one from the fusebox so I get a full ignition live.

Sounds petty I know but i don't want to state what its for at this moment but time will tell and a thread will be thrown up.

Easy to steal an ignition love from the fusebox anybody?

Or do it with a relay if you need serious power; the battery is close by with a neat little fuse panel just above it.

One of wires coming to parktronic in the boot is ignition controlled +12v.
On my car the wire is black-blue colour. I used this wire to feed rear view camera.
Open ELSA and check wiring of your parktronic module.

Thanks! That's brilliant ha. I need to run a relay in the wiring anyway but that saves me running the length of the car

The CD Player has a "live when the RNS is on" feed which, depending what you're powering "may" be of interest.
i.e. No key in the ignition, just open the door and press "on" on the RNS.
I've earmarked that for my DVB-T tuner and powered aerial.
