Can't you just splice into any 12v power source?

Just make sure its a switched 12V source.
Don't hook it up direct to the battery.

If your car has ASR/TCS, you can tie into the pink wire on the ASR/TCS switch.

there should be an available tab on the fuse block where you can push a spade terminal in and it'll provide switched power.
