I used the cigarette lighter fuse (under the glove box) for my hardwired dashcam. I have a v70, but I would guess the fuse box will be in a similar position in your v40.

There's some good earth points if you remove the panel below the glovebox too.

The cigarette sockets in the cabin are switched in my car, only the boot one is a perm live.
