Right, I've sussed how to feed the wire.

Which fuse would you tap into, the Astra K forum suggests fuse 31, I would have though fuse 26?

28        USB socket

Assuming it's ignition switched

Also consider the impact of adding extras to a circuit. Slapping in a bigger fuse isn't a solution. At least the empty circuit keeps it straightforward.

The empty circuit was a constant live.

Surely it needs a permanent feed :-\

Current draw in sleep mode should be negligible.

Anyhoo...
