Hi,
I'm looking to install trackers into my company vehicles. I need them hidden away out of view, but I need a constant +12v feed at all times, even with the ignition off.

Does anybody know of somewhere that is easily accessible within the cockpit or boot/trunk area to get this feed?

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,
Ace-76

I believe the black with red stripe in the steering collumn coming off the ignition cylinder is 12v constant.......

I can only assume you are referring to a N. American version Mazda 5; it is the blue/red-stripe wire underneath the kick panel on the passenger side. See attached excerpt taken from the OEM auto dimming mirror installation instruction. The B+ constant is what you are looking for (the green/black-stripe is the 12v IGN).
