Hi, I have bought a steelmate pressure indicator for my tyres, how do I connect to the ignition so that it turns on and off with the ignition key ? Help please

Have a quick search for auxiliary power or similar. Some of those posts might give you some good ideas.

Not sure but might make a difference depending on year of bike. If new enough for auto headlights, I assume you may be able to take a feed off the sidelight as should switch off with ignition I think.

More knowledgable bods will be along shortly

Yes, I got a feed off the little light globe in the head light to power my GPS and some LED lights (2000, R1150GS)
 
You can also pick up the tail light power feed from under the seat. The wires are on the RH side as you sit on the bike. An easy place to work on and make a tidy job of it.

If you're able, try and solder the connection. Much more reliable over time.

Lastly, if you think you might add more accessories, I recommend the PDM60 unit. Makes fitting accessories a doddle and you have a fair degree of control on behaviour of each circuit.
