where did you guys tap for +12V under dash?

Not sure if this is the right section to post this, but mods please feel free to move it. thanks!

Like what's in the title, where did you guys tap your power/+12V line under dash? Most of what i've searched is they tapped in the cigarette fuse. For the meantime, that's where i'm tapped (has a fuse tap in cigarette fuse). I dont want it in there because it has power when you're in accessories. I don't want the IGN fuse either because it has power in accessories too. I'm not sure if my tester is crapping out on me but that's what came out. Wasn't able to find a fuse that WILL HAVE POWER when the key is ON or in IGN only. Do you guys have an idea? I'm looking for the one that has at least 15amp fuse.

This will power up my meth controller. Thanks

TAKE NOTE: i already have my meth working with the cigarette lighter fuse using a fuse tap but it powers up even just in accessory. i want a power source that does not power up when you're in accessories. I want power only during when the key is on. let me know thank you!

Fuse panel. There's tutorials in the HOW TO sections of the forums here.

i'd like to clarify that I HAVE ALREADY INSTALLED IT and it is already been setup and attached to the CIGARETTE FUSE. I know the fuse panel. I'm currently using a fuse tap which is tapped in the cigarette fuse. My question is, which of the fuses does not have power when it is in accesory only but when the key is on which of the fuses have power. thanks

Reverse light fuse on the fuse panel under the dash. It only gets power with the key "On" and while the starter is cranking. No power with the key off or "Acc".

I used the wire underneath glove box on the fan, power in only supplied when the can is on and car running. I used that to hard wire my radar detector.

Here is a wiring schematic you can use as a reference if you need it.
