Can anyone recommend an easily accessed point for 12VDC for my dual power ports that I am replacing my driver's side coin tray/ash tray slide with. Want it hot at all times so I can charge a phone when camping without having to put the key in the ignition.

The clock has a permanent hot supply, and is right in the same vicinity. The electrical library says that it's a purple wire.

 

I've done this twice, once for always-on power for an old Garmin GPS and once, like you, to be able to charge my phone when camping without leaving the key in the ignition. I used an Add-A-Circuit and they've both been great. I recall I plugged one into F17 in the passenger compartment fuse box (Audio system power amp) but I don't recall where I put the second one.

 

Thanks guys. Think I will try the Add a ckrcuit route,......didn't know such a thing existed.
