or go out and get yourself a digy meter so that u can test for a switched 12v.(they come in very handy for many uses in the future)..or the pull your radio out...and tap in there.yellow wire with black stripe may be your easiest area

I will tap into the wire behind the radio. Thanks
Do you know which wire leading to the radio is for the dimming of the lights?

WHY HACK INTO SOMETHING THAT IS FUNCTIONING or OTHER SWITCHES ETC??? I have always wondered why people do this... i would suggest the cigarette lighter socket, or in my case i always tap stereo power that i ran to the back for my amps. I have even had a small fuse panel for different things i have working
