^^ Thats the answer you want right there.
Anything that retains power for that 10 min period and comes on every time you start the car.
The 12 volt cig lighter might work but i don't know if it has the juice for it.
The windows, sunroof (even if you don't have one there still is a live spot for it in the fuse box) wipers ect.
Infact if you don't have a sunroof I'd use that one, that way your giving it its own line instead of piggy backing something else

I agree with an add-a-fuse. I did this for all 3 of my gauges for my supercharger build. I did it with the sunroof fuse and the gauges go off when I open the door.
You can use the cig lighter wire, but it is constant power, so it will never turn off.

ok go to the back and test it with a meter or look at the lights or something. is the amp staying on when the car is off? does it stop if you pull the wires from the LOC.
that issue is pretty common
lol i do remember i just choose to make people search for it. LOL how helpful i am depends on how many people come in asking stupid questions at work
