I moved your thread to a more appropriate area of the site.
The BCM controls voltage, so there’s not a direct wire from the battery, you can tap into a red wire under the HVAC controls inside the interior fuse panel door. Keyed or hot ? Or go right back to the battery.

These guys can help

They should have wiring instructions

The ignition key turns the power on or off, or the wire is direct to the battery and live all the time


This is the BCM fuse block

If you need to ask that question you should defer to a professional installer.

My suggestion would be to use the pink wire out of the radio harness for 12 V power when the radio is on. Or as Oldblue suggested any of the unused fuse positions on the BCM are switched with the key. Depends on how many amps you need to supply. It might be advisable to use a relay.
