Auxiliary power - Best method / location to add a 5-10 amp line?

[noelkuck]

This can’t be so tough! Trying to tap into the interior cabin fuse box with an Add-a-Circuit Fuse TAP Adapter Mini APM Blade Fuse Holder to fuse 1/2 (found out the fuses are in a two-in-one casing, making things difficult). What’s the best method/location to add a 5-10 amp line? Hate to just splice into an existing line, but wanted to be more elegant. Thanks for opinions.

what are you powering? that determines what's a suitable fuse to tap.

My wife bought me a BSD for Christmas and I am finally getting around to the install. Minimum power requirements.

Micro3 add a circuit fuse taps and Micro2 fuse taps work in the passenger BCM fuse box.

Fuses in Blue color in the list are the Micro3

Owners manual has a list of fuse locations behind the glove box. Some are always on, some are only on with the ignition, and some shut off a few minutes after the ignition is shut off. Some are a tight fit and some are easier. It's where I got my self dimming mirror and dash cam power from. You can go by the description in the manual for each one or check them with a meter. Use these to pull a fuse and easily tap in:
