Need switched power source under driver's dash.

Going to be installing an aftermarket BT kit and mounting the control module on the driver's knee bolster.

While constant power (underneath dash) and grounding point (passenger footwell) are easy enough to find.... I'm not sure where to get switched (keyed) power.

The B6 doesn't have the nice 75X post like the B5 has.

What's the best way to access switched power, preferably without splicing into factory wiring?

I tapped the radio switched power wire for the 18 different devices I have shoved behind my dash.

I already had the radio out, so it was the most convenient. I tried a fuse tap but the one documented to be switched ended up being always on.
