    You just need to wire it into something that only has power with the acc/iginition on.

    I dunno off the top of my head, haven't played with commo wiring. Maybe the stereo accessory wire?

    Wiring diagram and a test light are your friends here. Test lights are cheap as for the basic screwdriver type one. Gregorys manual will have the wiring.

    Do you have an aftermarket stereo? If so it's easy as the colours are mostly the same.
