I'm looking to put a power outlet for a double USB low on the dash to the immediate left of the console. This will power the Ankar bluetooth module and my cell and not have wires running over the shifter and cup holder. Anyone know a good ign switched wire in the vicinity - or should I just tap off the radio? its a dedicated USB so under 5 amps using both. I will run a line in forward also with a splitter.
 






I used an "add a circuit" fuse kit and found a switched circuit on the fuse panel under the dash. Works fine for my dash can.

Perfect - I had thought about that a little - that will save me a lot of time.
 






I finally got the right add a circuit from Amazon. Autozone's wasn't deep enough. Now my bluetooth comes on and syncs as soon as I start the car.
