Anyone know where I can tap into a fuse that is switched and can handle a 5 amp draw? Preferrably in the engine compartment.

fuse box is right under the dash board. I tap into a 5 amp for my radar detector. fuse box diagram should be in the user manual.

ah~ic, then yup, it is switched. I removed the fuse that's for the the power outlet inside the armrest and then use an add-a-circuit.
