Hard-wiring things into the car...like PDA, iPod, etc.

Does anyone know where I can use in the TSX to hard-wire my pda into the car? I just need a +12V on ignition only and ground...

On my old 1996 Honda Civic, there was a source in the fuse box that gives me +12V ignition, +12V constant, and headlight +12V. But when I flipped open my TSX fuse box underneath my driver dash, there were no pins like this to be found.


yes in theory, I could tap into the cigarette adapters, but I prefer not to begin pulling crap apart unless I really have to and I don't like the idea of cutting into factory harnesses as well... =) if this was my old civic, i'd be cutting away! =)

You can buy an "add-a-fuse" link that connects to an existing fuse. It's pretty clean because it takes power from the existing fuse and provides its own separate fuse that can be used to power anything.

This sounds nifty, and like something I want for an application I'm working on... can someone provide a link to such a thing so I can check it out?

And yes, as I and my cut up hand know, getting to that cigarette lighter in the TSX is a BITCH.
