Default Accessory Power Plug on 2004?

I'm attempting to hard wire my V1 into the accessory power plug on a 2004 Coupe.

I've followed the instructions from the Tech Tips section as well as here ... but i'll be damned if I can find this plug as mentioned in the instructions.

A couple of posts mentioned that it doesn't exist on the 2004 as it does on the previous years' models ... ?

Any help would be appreciated!

Sorry, GM saved a nickel by eliminating the wires.

Yup - no accessory wires in the '04. I went to Aotozone and picked up a micro fuse Add-an-Accessory fuse adapter kit. Basically a wiring kit that plugs into the fuse box and gives you the accessory wires you need. I believe I used fuse slot #22 in the footwell. Plugged in, hooked up the wires, and doing fine.

It's missing.

Wired mine to the mirror. A little tougher to do but it is a cleaner install.

Considering they removed this harness and no 2004 video, that makes the 2003 the best Corvette year to get.

(Longhorn Z06 is the poster to read)

I didn't solder anything. Just uncrimped the factory connects and put my wire in and recrimped.

That is beyond cheap, GM should provide an isolated fuse block for the owner to wire accessories without risk of damage to the body computer system.
