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

Get a fuse tap and do it at the panel in the passenger foot area. Will take no time at all and you do not need to permanently cut, splice or modify the existing wiring. Just use a test light to find a fuse that is hot only with ignition. Many to choose from in that panel.
A fuse tap is simple and can be found at any auto parts store. An example and picture is about half way down the page on the following site.
