could run a new fused wire off the battery for that, if that's easier for you than tapping into existing circuits. or, if you won't be using the radio in the vehicle, you can purchase an aftermarket radio harness, and it will allow a plug-n-play connection to the power connections in the radio harness(same circuit as the cigarette lighters i believe).
Is it fine to ground it to the ground wire coming off the 12v plug? Or should I ground it to a metal bolt somewhere on the chassis?
