Get a volt meter and check to see which fuses have power when the car is turned on. Watch our because some will be a constant 12 volts even when the car is off. Then go to a local auto/electronic parts store and get a fuse tap, also commonly referred to as an "Add a circuit".
Put that in the slot for the switched fuse and there you go, a 12v ignition source. Just be sure to get the proper size fuse for the accessories you are running.

The quicker and dirtier, I stress dirtier, is to tap off of the cigarette lighter. This is a 12v switched BUT it should only be used to power something small. 5-10 amps, no more!

I installed my narrow band and used the how too in here for it. It uses a 12v power supply from the ignition.
