Take your multimeter and go trolling through the back of the dash until you find a circuit that's switched hot. The radio power would be a good candidate.

This would be one way to wire it, except use an 80 amp fuse and appropriately sized wires -



I used a pretty small switch for my activation circuit so I used a little Bosch relay just to be safe...probably overkill but better safe than sorry.
