I am using the fuse tap to power my Wolfbox digital rear mirror. Currently it piggybacks on the FC21 "12v outlet" fuse in the fuse box close to the steering wheel. A common installation I guess.
I'd like to change that and need your help with it.
What I don't like is that the mirror powers on when the overhead power switch is turned on and the car is off.
I want the wolfbox just to start when ignition is on. No matter about the pwr switch.
Which spot in the fusebox should i use instead? What would you recommend?
 
I don't have the answer.. yet. But I have the same issue / concern. In an hour or two I'm going out with a meter to look for a different switched power source that doesn't energize with the overhead switch.
 
Testing out my solar panel and fridge I noticed the mirror is also powered by the overhead power switch. So I am considering the same powering change for the Wolfbox.

My temporary solution: power-down the Wolfbox with a long press of the power button (a short-press only turns the screen off). I believe this is the same as unplugging the mirror, but I have not measured power consumption.
