Default ACC wire location in the trunk

I am going to retrofit an aftermarket mirror link interface on the left side of the trunk . The unit needs ACC power(12V when the ignition is turn on). Where can i find it. I am thinking of joining the electrical harness of the radio as i have a spare plug and play harness but checking with the voltmeter both red and blue wires are permanent 12 V. I did put the car to sleep mode( everything off and alarm on ) but still the same.
Please advise
Thanks in advance

Somebody asked the same question recently. Maybe he got the answer.

Assuming you have parking sensors, the easiest way to get Terminal 15 in the boot is too tap into a wire on the parking module and switch a relay on a secondary fuse panel that can be bought from eBay for very little with a couple of fuses and a relay built in.

That way your not going to overload the parking module supply and you'll have fused supply to whatever your fitting
The extra fuses and relay in mine.<br/><br/>The Fuse below is terminal 30 and then feeds the relay supply side, the second fuse protects the parking module by preventing the relay coil from sucking too much amps should the coil short.<br/><br/>The rest of the fuses are a mix of terminal 30 and 15 for what ever is needed.



Extra fuse along side original with feed wire bolted to supply to the original fuses box.
