Hardwiring to fuse box

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this forum, and actually own a 5 series not a 3. However found your site very informative and usefel.
I'm also trying to install an electrical device in the car and need to get swithcable 12v power for it (up to 10AMP).

I'm familiar with the Add-a-circuit device, however, I want to connect directly to the fuse panel (adding a wire to the back of the fuse box in an empty slot and a dedicated 10AMP fuse in that slot, solitarly for this new device) - I have searched for detailed instructions, but found none, especially no pictures.

Would appreciate your help. what kind of connector should I attach the (+) end of the wire to so I can plug into the back of the fuse box, and how exactly do I do that. What equipment do I need, and how can I determine if the power is constant or switchable ???

Thanks
