Question Adding a cigarette lighter

I have 1997 F-150. I am trying to wire in a new female cigarette end under the dash. It is to hook up my satellite radio. Any suggestions on what to wire it into or where. Any wiring diagram or pictures would be great.



Thanks

Run a wire over to the fuse box. Then go to the store and buy what they call a "fuse tap" and also buy some crimp spade connectors to slide onto the fuse tap. Pick a spot in the fuse box. You have a choice of picking a spot that is hot only with the key in run or accessory(like the factory radio fuse) or a hot all the time fuse(like the original cigarette light fuse).
