Best place for 12v+ and Switched 12v+ in the back?

I'm putting in my NX Kit this coming weekend, just trying to figure out where to hook up my remote bottle open/bottle heater to. It says it needs a 12v+ as well as a switched 12v+. Where's the best place to tap into that, in the rear of my CRX? I was thinking that little light on the passenger side interior, for 12v+ and something like the rear taillights for 12v+ switched. Any ideas?

nah It needs a + constant from the battery and + ran either to a switch or to the iggnition so it comes on when the car is started. Much like a radio.

Right, but I didn't wanna wire it straight to the battery, because when the car is turned off, I worry about it draining the battery. Aside from the fact, that I didn't wanna run wire from the very BACK of the car, to the very FRONT. But I guess I will...just run 1 wire from the battery, then run 1 wire from a switched 12v+, and use those 2 wires for differen things, using connectors.

Just read the instructions when you get it.

Do the right thing, run wires.
If you try to tap you will almost always have issues.
Also if you need +12v constant as instructed then you have to have it on all the time.
Most factory wires dont provied the needed amps to run aftermarket goods.
Most of the time you burn something up.
Ive seen some nice CarBeques due to people being cheap/lazy

As above, follow the instructions.

you could always catch your wires behind the radio. because your radio has a 12volt constient and 12 volt switch(acessory)
