Live terminal behind dash?

Hi all
Is there a convenient live feed point, switched with ignition, behind the dash?? Got a couple of extras I'll need to wire in so thought I'd ask in advance!

I found it easy to power up several devices, switched with the ignition, using piggy-back fuses and earth in the fuse box at the right hand end of the dash.

Good point - and I guess there will be some spare fuse slots given the array of extras possible!
Thanks
Dave

This. Rear wiper is my 'go to' fuse for piggy backing - always switched with ignition, always seems to be on its own its fuse in VAG cars, and a safe one to play around with also

OK - have sorted out my devices and am currently using one of the three fuses listed as "Terminal 15" in (luggage, dashboard, bonnet) - anyone have any clue what/where the various "Terminal 15's" actually are??
This is more for future ref as my piggyback solution seems fine!
