You need to tap off of something that turns on with the accessory. Under your steering wheel there's a big cluster of wires, tap into the big brown wire.

Not sure about that but the brown wire would work guaranteed and is easy to get to.

Nope, since 2000+ use a databus, there is no "accessory" or "ignition" wire.
