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.

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.
