Default Easiest place to tap an ignition wire.. 2012

I cant seem to find a good answer for this! I need to tap my JL Audio full range volume control into a ground, hot, and ignition. Obviously theres plenty of ground and hot wires to choose from in the dash.. but wheres the most convenient place to get ignition? Is there a wire color on the radio harness i should be looking for? Thanks!

In the end i decided to just take apart the steering column to narrow down the wires.. theres only four wires coming from the ignition, it turned out to be the purple/orange wire, the thinner gauge one!
