Constant power with fuse.

I would like to add a constant power wire for my sirius stiletto. I can tap into the existing aux in and run the antenna wire under the dash I think to the windshield. I would prefer not to have to open up the dash. What would be the easiest way to accomplish this ?

If you wanna go up high with it, there is constant power in the overhead console for the map lights and HFL. You could tap into that.

not even sure how I would do that...I was hoping for something maybe running from the fusebox.

The seat motor for the driver has constant power if I remember correctly so when you unlock the car you can still move the seat around.

Find a 12v + with the car off and use an inline wire splice connector.

You could also use an add-a-fuse in the fuse box. The one for the HFL and map lights is on all the time - forgot which one it is, though.

add a circuit

whether its the interior light circuit or seats, find 'add a circuit' at orielly. Really cool fuse with build in splice. You have to see it to understand it. You can tap into 'always hot' or 'hot with key on' circuits.
