Prado 150 12v ignition on source that is easy access 2016 model

[voicecraft Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close voicecraft]

I need to locate a 12v ignition on source that is appropriately rated, fused and hopefully is easy to access. I will be running quite a few accessories from this source (quite low current drain mainly providing coil cct for relay switching and switch lighting) but struggling to find from either the drivers side or engine bay. I have read some useful posts on the forum but trying to avoid splicing into unknown cabling. Also, I have a 2016 (GXL petrol) which may make a difference to older posts.

Thanks in advance for any help

I got an ignition source from inside the accessory box at the rear of the engine bay on the passenger side, not sure what it runs but in the GX it is empty, but it has spots for fuses and I was able to use one of them as a trigger wire for some of the relays. There is also the option to get it from the 12volt socket in the center console, it has from memory only two wires going in so not hard to work out which is which so you can join into it, I used that for power for accessories inside that need to run when the car is on, like the dash cam and type pressure monitor.
