Which wire did you tap for amp remote switch on?

I am not sure if it was part of an option I chose (extra power outlet) but I tapped off the back of the 12V supply to the extra power outlet (cigarette lighter) in the luggage area. This comes on and off with the ignition.
From memory it may stay live for a few minutes after turning the ignition off, but not enough to drain the battery.
There maybe other places to tap off, but this was the easiest to find without going through all the other wires behind the fuses.
It was also quite tight to fix the main 12v power lead to the top the battery as it is well shielded with the red plastic cover, but I did use a very heavy gauge wire rated at 1500w.
