If it’s already switched, then you just connect the “starter wire” (D+ Ignition) to the same source as the +DC input terminal. Unless your wanting to have total control over when the DC-DC charger is actually charging, then you would run the D+ Ignition wire from the +DC source, then through a switch, then connect it to the +DC input terminal on the DC-DC charger.
