Find or run an ignition-switched 12v source. It's usually best to avoid tapping directly into the wire that powers the ignition itself to avoid draining off voltage from it.

Re: hooking up elec. choke

for an ignition signal for my remote lock module, i used the fan fuse... it should provide a signal that only comes through when the car turns on... i'm not quite sure if its a 12v tho
