Default 12v switched and constant?

have 07 C6 and i want to hook up my Moto IHF1000 and it recquires 12v switched and constant.

anyone have any suggestions on where i can tap into.

I know i can get 12v from the fuse panel using an ADD-A-CIRCUIT and tapping onto the heated seats.

im wondering if the seats are a constant?

thoughts?

After posting this last night i did a test. I opened the windows and left the car overnight. before opening the door i reached in and moved the seats. so the power seats look to be constant. the heated part or switched.

anyone agree/disagree.

Seat heaters and wipers are both switched and either can be used. IIRC the wipers fuse is in the smaller vertical box on the right with the cover.

Keep in mind that those will not be switched by RAP, so if you're in the middle of a conversation and shut off the engine your bluetooth will shut off even though the stereo is on. Getting a RAP power source involves installing an aftermarket module like the Peripheral GMRAP.
