Cruise control fuse.

Radio shack sells a piggy-back fuse adapter -or- you can just wrap the hot wire around one of the fuse blades and plug the existing cruise control fuse back in. Secure the neg. wire to a ground. (there's a bolt next to the fuse panel that secures the Bose amp).

Default product

I bought a product from a guy off the website for $12.50. It plugs directly into the back of the power mirror. Turns on and off with the ignition. 1 minute install. teambiker@yahoo.com
