Where is the best place to get power for accessories in the dash. I'm wanting to install the XM SkyFi FM Modulator in my Screw and would like to keep from splicing into the 12V power port wires. Are there any "extra" power wires floating around? How has everyone else been powering their XM Roady modulators and such? As a side note, I can't believe all the extra space under the radio/behind the AC controls.

 

 

If there are any extra power wires behind the dash, I couldn't find them. When I installed the Delphi FM Modulator I used a multimeter on the large connector on the cd player to locate the ignition power wire (I believe it was green). I then spliced the power wire from the FM Modulator into that. This made it so my Delphi Roady turns on and off when you activate or deactivate the ignition. I'm sure that I could've found an aftermarket connector so I wouldn't had to cut the wires but I didn't feel like waiting. Hope this helps.

Here is a pic of the finished installation.
