so hook it to the fues box in my opinion, find a hot fues when the car is off, and hook it up.

heres an idea. your fuse box should have constant power, and switched power. hook the red to constant positive, ground the black, and get a small relay [spdt]. wire the relay so that the coil of the relay is energized when the car is on. connect constant power through the common terminal to the terminal that is connected when the relay is not powered.

my ascii diagram didnt show up right.
