Go ahead and hook onto the white wire, like you've probably heard before, "size doesn't matter", it's only getting battery voltage. You'll want to put an inline fuse with a smaller amperage fuse (?5 amp?), in the wire right after where you hook onto the white wire, so it won't melt the smaller wire you will run between the white (fused at 30 a) and your dash should it short out.
