accessory power

Hey guys,
I have a 95 xlt and need to know if there is a convenient place to pick up an ignition switched 12 volts to power up a compass mirror. I was just wanting to see if there is a specific point to go from before I hack into the wrong wire. Thanks

not a spot to be had. Any other ideas? There has to be something. I thought about tapping the radio supply but that means I have to pull it out. I was thinking more along the lines of an under dash hookup.

Look for a grey wire with yellow stripe. that color is accessory in truck.
Or red /green is ignion.
You may have to use ign switch harness, same color wires.
It is easy to drop wire behind radio.
good luck,ste
