Permanent 12 volt wiring ... help

I have a 2006 frod expedition & I have a sirius "plug & play" unit I want to permanently mount in my car.

I'm tired of tying up the cig. lighter with powering the sirius as I want my phone charger there.

SO, How can I hard wire the sirius to a constant 12 volt supply w/o/ using the lighter? Can I use the fusebox? How? Other options?

thanks

tj

here's how i did my XM on my 99.

i tapped into the radio ignition on power wire and connected a power outlet. (i got a extension cord and cut off one end.) i then plugged my XM into this and hid it all behind the dash cover. my xm only draws a minimal current so the fusing wasn't a problem and it turns on and off with the key.

I'm sure you can do this on your 06. you just need to find a power wire.
