Help power wire signal

I'm wiring up a relay to power up all my in car entertainment parts. I was wondering is there a place I can tap to in the trunk for the signal ie. When the ignition is on that wire get power. Thanks

I ran a power line from the under dash fusebox to the trunk to power my NavTool. Fuse #32 is the ACC fuse. I used an Add-A-Fuse and it has been working fine for almost 6 months now. No need to remove the back seat, either.

Another option would be to run a lower gauge (thicker) line directly from the battery to the trunk, depending on how many devices you need to power. Kits are available from stereo shops to do this.

I tapped into an empty fuse slot for ignition on the relay and just ran one thin cable to the back to power on my equipment.
that might be the best bet
You can try the ignition line on the fuel pump but, im not sure if thats recommended.

run along side the 5ga wire another smaller sized one. Like the ones for remote turn on lead.
I taped them together every 1ft. Makes it easier to run.
By the fuse panel you use one of the open ones with a fuse tap for your ignition turn on.

Do know how to wire the relay all up?
