You can either run a wire to a switched power source behind your radio, or you can use a fuse tap and go to you fuse box and find one that has power when the key is in the run position.

The radio slot in the fuse panel is a good place for a hot in run / accy without the delay ( 15 min or until you open your door ).
This is if this is just a low amp trigger ( similar to the PPI & FAL kits need ).
The add-a-fuse in the radio slot is a good place to add this in, the original fuse goes back in position #1, and a 1 A fuse in position #2.
