always on fuse

Is there a fuse that has power all the time,
even after the car shuts off after 30 mins?

Every fuse I checked had power on all the time. I'm having trouble finding a fuse that has power only when in radio ready mode.

Condor, how about F9? Central locks. There has to be some in there that are live all the time or the key fob wouldn't work.

Tag, 42 (cig lighter) works with the ignition on, but I don't think it does in just radio ready mode.

There are a bunch in the passenger footwell such as F21. Check out this sticky. The ones labeled 30G are radio ready fuses.

If its for a amplifier, I heard of using the rear power plug in the trunk. I was having a hard time as well locating a power supply that would turn off for my remote turn on for my amp.

Thanks. I will try them this weekend.
(will also check out the sticky)

It's not for an amplifier.

When I got my car I put in XM, and it comes on and off
with the car like I wanted

But what I can't get to work out:
I have this setup that I put on all my cars (shhh, I need
to keep this quiet). I get this blinking LED kit off ebay
and scary warning sticker. The LED connects to
the constant on power and a power that only comes
on when the key is on. The effect is that the light blinks
when the car is off, and stops blinking when the car is on.

I am 100% sure this method works as I have actually seen
my criminal neighbors (where I used to live) and their friends
inspect my car in the middle of the night, make note of
the light and sticker, and walk away.

I am SURE the LED is not broken and works.

I have really searched the site here but could not get a
definate answer.

HA HA

Maybe I should have asked my question:

Which two fuses do I need to connect this thing to?

I'm not lazy. I even printed out from one of the threads
the complete fuse diagram and what they all do.
I just can't get it to work out.

I live in a low crime area now. But I still want this thing to work
for general principle and the idea that I did drill a hole in the
console and now for sure want it to work.

I had one of those blinking LEDs on my motorcycle. Gives the illusion of an alarm. 32 (smaller fuse) or 42 (larger fuse) could be used for the ignition side of it.
