XM FM Mod 12V power source

Hello again,

I have 03 Mazda Pro 5 and currently installling the MF mod in the car. Lets make this short....Where do I plug the 12v line to? Can I plug it in the head unit harness? or any 12 v power source?

Thanks

Thanks Blue Ledz,

Where else can I get the 12 V power? My car is a mess right now

. I hate doing these things to a brand new car.

Regards

a lot more than to take out the HU the easiest way to get at the cigarette lighter is to take out the center console and the HVAC controls and the center trim ring with it i'll take a look tomorrow and see if i see an easier way. right now everything is taken apart in my car so i could paint the dash it went from grey to black

it my be different on my 97, but i just stuck my finger in the hole, bent my finger and pulled, the silver piece comes out about an inch or so, the rotate the hole thing till the pins line up with the gooves (these are on the back and you can't see) and then it comes right out.
