A wire you hook directly to your fuse block to power an accessory ie. radar detector, that way you dont have any wires showing and keeps your stuff out of view. Thats the best i can describe it

We always referenced that as a Hardwire or a Direct Connect, Fusable Im with ya now.

Thanks

This info should help You guys.
NOTHING needs to be removed
put Your head underneath the dash by the foot break side to the firewall area. You'll see thick harness. then You'll see smal harness taped to it with blue connector on it. there will be 2 wires in it. Pink and Green. Pink wire is the one You want to use

On a 2008 this harness isnt there - or it is but it has 3 wires..

I didnt have much luck finding a switched 12v on it - but I could have spent more time checking it..

I decided to get a fuse tap with extra power lead from autozone and go that route.
