headunit fuse
the red wire from teh headunit if your using the cheap kit needs to be attached to a fuse or accesory wire.
which is easiest
which should i use
and would the wire to that light from teh cubby hole work, i know its wired into teh lights and theyre off during the day but could power still be received all day long from it, (asking because its right there and easy to get too)

i do not! 
i do leds... not audio. 
the red wire should go to a constant power supply. They suggest putting a fuse inline, so you don't get a power surge and damage your radio.
i have mine connected to a fuse tap, that is connected to the "radio" fuse on the driver's side fusebox. |

1) take out the fuse your tapping, and insert the fuse tap, into the fuse's location.
2) put that fuse into the closest spot, on the fuse tap
3) put a new fuse into the farthest spot on the fuse tap (this will fuse the line going OUT from the tap)
4) connect the wire on the fuse tap, to the red wire on your wire harness.
5) have a beer.

i honestly.... can't make that any easier to understand. go to a car store, buy a fuse tap, and look at what you want to do. it should be obvious

your better off getting one like this
http://www.repairconnector.com/index...id/0/id/345999
so you can have the fuse right there, in an easily accessible location.
just DO NOT BUY THIS EXACT ONE. The one linked is a BLADE FUSE TAP. you need a MINI BLADE FUSE TAP. But that is the style your going to look for. |

Yes it's in the hardness. There are 2 yellow wires in the hardness, one is ign.
That is how I get ign power for my gauges
