Default 12 volt Constant power under the dash

Looking for an easy why to get 12 volt constant for a garage door mod. This will be to wire a relay to operate the garage door from my remote start system. Please give me your input!

Stereo has a yellow/red wire on the edge of the connector that is constant 12V.

Edit: Also, if you have an accessory port (cig lighter) that has a picture of a battery on the cap then you can use that.

I used a fuse tap and tapped into the fuse box for a constant power source. You can tap it so it only works when key is in a certain position or for a constant 12v supply
