If you wire it into the iso loom at the back of the radio the you can wire it to the red wire on that

red and yellow on the back of radio is switched live i think and you could try splice into the red parks wire under the bonnet and run it threw the car to the dials!!

just get yourself a cheap £5 multimeter mate. will save alot of hassle.

the easiest and most common place to take power from is the radio connections like others have said. just be careful you dont take too much load though as you could blow the fuse, or melt wires
