That's live all the time, so it's not a good idea.
A better place is the fuse block. Unbolt it and turn it over. One half is powered all the time and one half switches on with the ignition. You want the half that switches on with ignition. Check with a test light or multimeter if you aren't sure.
It will look like this. The lower row is fused and the upper row is the feed to the fuse. You want the fused side.
I'd probably use the accessory spot, but really, it doesn't matter. Use a spade connector that looks like this if there's no open spots or a regular spade connector if there is.
