There's a 10A fuse in the driver side interior fuse panel that is marked "SRS Main Unit" or something along those lines. Can I use that fuse for my needs? Thanks.

Use the Windshield Wiper circuit. Fuse #12
It’s only “hot” when the key is turned to ON or ACCESSORY.
Lots of people use that one for radar detectors.
Not sure of the voltage though.
What are you hooking up anyway

Steve,
On the inner part of the fuse panel located above the parking break area, Acura provides 4 different connector points. They are numbered 24, 25, 26, and 27. Each one provides power under different conditions:
- Power on when engine is on.
- Power on when key is accessory mode
- Power on all the time
- Power which varies with instruments ( I think)
I can't remember which is which right now but it's easy enough to test. It just takes a female spade connector to grab power off of one of these optional connectors. I don't think they are fused so just put an inline fuse on the circuit and you're good to go. I hardwired my V1 off of one of these connectors and others have used one of the connectors to power up an optional shock sensor to the security system.

I used that for my V1 and it worked wonderfully. It is a 30A fuse though. I'm hooking up my wideband O2 gauge and the instructions indicate it needs to be a 10A fuse. I might just stop and pick up a 10A inline fuse and splice it into something.
