The easiest is to use fuse #22 which is live but not used for any other function. I used an “add a circuit” connector to hook in. This gives you the switched hot.

These are not my pics but show you the hook ups

You can see how the connectors slot into the fuse box/
The other option is to hook up into the spare connector which is available for ancillary devices. I believe this is used for the CD changer so it may not be an option for you if you have one of those fitted.
In the passenger footwell (unless you have a 2004) behind the kick board you’ll see a fuse block and to its left a silver box which is the BCM. There are three wires taped together feeding into a connector.
The Black wire is ground; the Orange wire is powered through fuse #7 but is permanent hot. The Yellow wire is powered through fuse #11 and is switched hot when the key is in the ACC or ON positions. Hook up to the Yellow for switched ACC.

IIRC the 04s dont have the connector in the pic I posted. You'd need to tap into another circuit or run a wire to the battery through the firewall. The cigar lighter is always hot

You mention the Orange wire goes to Fuse 7, and someone posted above that 7 is the cigarette lighter. So, if I were to cut the orange wire and splice the end that's coming to the the fusebox into the yellow wire, would I think get a cigarette lighter that is switched by accessory power?







Edit: After looking at the connector firsthand, the orange wire does not connect to the cigarette lighter. Details here:

A prior installer located electronics for a sub-woofer behind the box just left of the cabin fuse box, then apparently got the electrical power by tapping into the fuses in this box. Problem is, I can't tell where, and the wiring looks like it runs behind the box.
I am doing a stereo upgrade and one of my objectives is to rid my C5 of all the "old" installed stuff. So I'd like to pull the fuse box, if that's possible, and see just what was installed and, if possible, figure out how to remove it.
Anyone who can add insight how to pull this fuse box from its brackets - please chime in.
Thanks,
The Lizzard
