In the passenger side footwell, remove the small carpeted toe-kick panel and that will reveal a connector with a pair of hot wires and a ground wire. The orange wire is constant 12v and the yellow wire is 12v ignition switched. The black wire is ground. Either one of the power leads will handle a 10A load. Fuse 11 in the instrument panel fuse box is for the accessory power harness.

This pigtail was removed on the 2004s. I ended up changing head units to get XM and Bluetooth.
On 04’s, fuse 11 (20 amp) in the passenger fuse panel is an ignition ON feed for Accessory Power. I used this fuse for adding power to a dash cam and per comments to me from Mr. Sam, it does NOT provide power to anything else. Also, fuse number 22 noted as Body Control Module – Ignition 3 in the owner’s manual is open and does not power anything.
Need some help on where to find a Ignition on wire to finish install for a XM RADIO on a 2004. Any idea....thanks
In the foot well tap fuse #11. It is switched and will be hot only when the ignition is on and in acc. I did it this way when I changed mt mirror to an Onstar Mirror.
Thanks everyone for all the info on my install. Here are some pix of the finished XM/Sirius radio in my C5.. After putting everything back together.....Guess what Unable to open FUEL DOOR and REAR HATCH. I have no idea whats up....anyone have any idea...

Thanks for the link, it helped. That install must have been another year. He was talking about fuse # 26 (F/TNKDR) on his vehicle. I found that on my 04 that fuse #32 was for (F/TNKDR). Once that was replaced, fuel door release worked and rear hatch opened. Again thanks so much.

Good luck with the install.
Just a suggestion, did you considered installing the antenna centered on the top edge of the hatch glass instead?
