I added one to #414 just using the standard wire harness connections that are provided for a lighter. I mounted it under the dash in a vertical position - the opening pointing down to the floor and attached it to the back of the bottom lip of the dash. It's centered between the 2 dash support posts that run up from the tranny tunnel. That way it's not visible, but you can reach under the dash and plug power in.

I run a radar detector and G-Tech off it with a splitter and all seems to work fine. Just have to remember that it's not a switched connection so you have to turn everything off or it will drain the battery.
