Always on power source??

Can anyone tell me where there is a wire anywhere in the car that I can tap into that is a constant power source?

I need that for a sat radio accessory.

Thanks

Well everything I have ever had plugged in there always turns off and on with the car.

So I am going to say no.

well if the aux pwr has a dedicated fuse position then the hacked-up way of doing it would be to bridge over a wire from anouther position thats always hot. Never atemp something like this on anything criticle like ABS.Airbags or even B lights or horn.
