Default Keyed Power Source

Alright guys,
I'm wiring up my air-ride suspension kit and I need a keyed power source to wire the pressure switch to...is there something in the trunk that I would be able to use? If not, how should I go about it?
Thank you!

Get a multimeter and find the empty port in the fuse box that is remote activated and use it... No need to 'tap' into anything.

If really want to tap into something, tap into the cig lighter wire, use a relay and use a fuse on the wire going to the back of the car. If you have an aftermarket amp in the trunk, you can use that remote wire. Just fuse it as well.

I think I follow you...so there is an empty fuse port that is only powered with the car is turned on?

Probably more than half of them are powered by ignition. I'm pretty sure I'm using one right now, but I'm too fat now to check what I've done lol Its really easy to track one down with a multimeter or light tester. I'm pretty certain there is at least one empty one.
