Help with V1 install

I was installing my V1 in my new CLS and trying to pull power from the fuse box on the drivers side. Are any of these fuses switched on with the ignition?

There are plenty there w switched power. You need a test light to check them. Go to wally world(aka Wal-mart) and buy you one. Its like 3.97 or something. Looks like ice pick with a clear handle. Wire coming out the end. Connect that end to a ground. Use icepick side to touch end of fuse on the metal part. If you get light when you turn on ignition then Boom you have it. Tried to make this easy in case you have never done this sort of thing.

Why not pull power from the map lights or rearview mirror?
