Default Need help tapping switched power source

Not being a electrical or wiring guru I need some help tapping a switched power line for CB radio. Ideally I’d like to connect to the fuse panel under the steering wheel. Any direction or photos would be much appreciated

A fuse tap and a volt meter is all you need. Find a fuse that only has power when the key is on.
