You think I should splice the 12v Power cable into a 12v source from the fuse box? would you reccomend this, or trying to access the cig lighter source?

splice into the "acc" socket in the center console. It'll handle more draw than the cig outlet. If your draw requires anything larger than 16 awg, you'll need to pull directly from the battery though.

Attention all who are installing aftermarket electrical add ons. As long as you are installing items with small amp draws (radar detectors, etc) the best place for your 12v source is the fuse box at your left foot. It only has 2 small clips to be removed so you may access the wiring from behind. From there tap into the "fused" side of the cigarettle lighter fuse.
