I am going to install a bottle warmer soon, and I would like to tap off a fuse that is only activated when the key/ignition is on for my switch.
Any suggestions?
thanks.

Tap into a wire off the back of the radio harness. There is a keyed wire in there, I believe it is pink. Just key up the car and use a voltmeter to find it. Pretty easy.
Run that to your switch and then to a relay. Use a power wire from the battery (not a fused source) to the relay and then to the bottle warmer. It will draw more current then the fused ignition sources will allow.
