I used a wire tap connector that I got from radio shack.

it's a pain in the a** to have to disconnect my ipod charger all the time.

You'll want to test with a test light as well but I can tell you the following:
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Tim said in my previous thread that there was a "phone plug" in the center console. Anybody have an idea what it looks like or where exactly it is located?
I was going to tap into the cig lighter plug but that is constant power.
TIA!
Dell - you have to remove the center console to get at it, the rear one with the shifter in it. B&M's site has good instructions on how to do this for the short shifter install. Once it is off you will be able to see the phone wires/connector.
Really? I thought it was in the middle console under where the radio is. I'm so confused
So those people that need to suck down a cancer stick with the ignition off have a place to light it
If you pull out the top cubby or CD holder, you will find what you are looking for.
Maybe. It may not be switched. There is 12V across the two outer sockets with the key off. This is OK for my purposes, which is to wire up an auxillary dual power socket. I don't mind the cell phone charging with the engine shut off.
Anyway, this may get you started.
Success.
FYI....you only have to removed the right side leather panel and side carpeted panel. That's all. You will see the 4 wire connector just sitting in the middle.
You'll want to test with a test light as well but I can tell you the following:
Front Left to Right in my Picture:
Wire#1 Brown NOTHING
Wire#2 Yellow NOTHING
Wire#3 Green SWITCHED
Wire#4 Red CONSTANT
You are able to get to this 4 wired plug without unscrewing anything via 'a pull away carpetted triangular side panel' by your right calf when seated in the driving position(LHD). It is hanging down on it's own. BTW thanks for the info. I wondered what this plug could be used for. Now i know thanks to these postings and marked it up accordingly.
PS sorry.. I see that posting #14 says just the same as I am saying. I discovered mine when I was removing an old hard wired Radar detector. Thanks to you guys I hard wired my newer Cobra Radar detector into the ignition switch part last night. Plan on doing the same to my tom tom GPS today so they are both controlled via the ignition. Saves all this plugging and unplugging into the cig lighter. The other day I did some spirited driving and on arriving home discovered that I had not plugged the tom tom into the lighter. That can't happen again.
I used a wire tap connector that I got from radio shack. The images below were from when I did the garage door mod but its the same:

Did anyone figure this out? The constant on mine works fine - but the switched wire is not getting power even when the car is running. I'm using it for the remote turn on for a tiny sub behind the drivers seat - the main power is a wire straight to the battery.
Pretty sure that it is a 10Amp fuse.
try fuse E6 & 8, are you sure that you are connected to the green wire?

Yep - it�s the only one with green on it though it does have a black stripe. What�s weird is the constant wire works just fine - only the switches on isn�t getting any power regardless of ignition position.
That IS weird.
I used the pigtail from Becker Autosound.
Into the stock phone plug.
I mounted a dual USB plug in the center cubby. One switched and one unswitched and they both work fine.
