Default Constant live in boot
Would it be safe to use the constant live from the internal boot light to power a gps tracker? Just a cheap eBay job. Any thoughts?

Should be, yes. Is it live even when the IGN is off, or sidelights aren't on?

Well the boot interior light comes on with out the key in the ignition so it appears to be constantly live.

Just want to make sure that the current draw isn't too much?
