GPS Tracker Installation

Hey! new to the forum!

I just got a mini cooper convertible 2013 turbo sport and I'm trying to install a goldstar gps tracking device in the vehicle. I am looking for a 12v constant, ignition wire, and starter wire. I've started looking at the fuse box all the wires going in there. I tested 4-5 so far and thought I would post on here before continuing. I've been looking for some sort of wiring diagram but couldn't find any. Even just knowing the color of the wires im looking for would be awesome.

12v constant
ignition wire
and starter wire

if anyone has any help that would be awesome!

First step would be to read through the first few posts here: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...not-fuses.html

Take note of the different terminals (30g & 15) and when they are hot vs. not. Bottom line, you want to find a feed that is from 30g or 30g_f for a "12V constant" and a feed from terminal 15 for "12V switched". Do note that the switched feed is not instant.

Also, go here: https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/

The electrical and wire diagrams section will be very helpful for you.
