What exactly are you looking to install? There may be a better route than the fuse box.

You have a 12volt cig lighter/accessory plug in the passenger foot well. These turn on/off with the ingnition. Tap into that and you are all set.

I don't know. But if you get on your hands and knees and look all the way up/under the passenger foot well you might see one of the cig plugs/ports.

Thanks.. I am hooking up an aux input and power plug for a USB in my glove box.. I am trying to get my iPod to charge (when I am driving) and turn off (when I turn the car off).

The iPod in my previous car would turn off automatically when the power was removed or stereo turned off..

Thanks again
