Hey guys, is there an power on ignition wire in the drivers footwell? I need a power source that is only active when the key is in the ignition position. Cheers guys.

Look into the key sensing wire living above the ignition barrel. But I am not sure it will help you as I have not seen the schematics.
According to the BEM wiring chart, pin 10 is the ignition feed which reads 14.0V when active and 0.0V when inactive and it should be white in colour.
The BEM harness is made up of 3 connectors. The first has 16 wires, the second has 12 wires and the third one has 20 wires. Pim 10 is in the first connector. Pins are counted from bottom row first from left to right.

Ah, cheers. In the end I had a look at the Workshop Manual and found that the black wire with a white stripe has 12v on it has power with the key at the ignition position. This is apparently the wire that provides power to the factory cruise control, so all good.
