Default Switched Power for Amp

Installing an amp and subwoofer to my 2010. Everything on the install went fine except for the remote power wire that runs from the amp to a switched power source. Looking for a wiring diagram or identification of the radio power that is hot when the radio is on and cold when the radio is off. A couple of sources have suggested it is a blue wire. The only blue wire I've found on the radio didn't work. Any thoughts on the right wire and it's location?

Thanks,

I used a tap a fuse (I think that’s what they’re called) and connected it to a fuse in the fuse box in the passenger side footwell area. I forget which one I used but it was easy and amp turns on and off when truck is turned on and off. Only thing is the tap a fuse sticks out a bit so the cover on the fuse box can’t go back on but everything is still covered by the kick panel.
