    More than likely there is already a constant hot wire already behind the dash.
    Just trace the existing positive wire back and more than likely you will find the constant hot wire that can be used.
    If it’s not already marked you just need a test light to verify.
     
    BurjKhalifa Thanks this.

    One watt is recommended into a linear.

    Wait, I didn't say that.
