Power Line For Bluetooth Adapter (under center console?)

Hi guys,

New Z4MC owner here! (I know, woo-hoo!)

I wanted to get some bluetooth audio going from my phone and figured I'd get a little BT to AUX adapter. BUT the cigarette lighter is always hot, which is a problem because I don't want my phone connecting to the BT dongle when the car is off.

So, is there a convenient location for a power line I can tap into to run this?
Something that's only hot when the car is on.
Maybe under the center console somewhere?

I was going to take the console out and start digging, but figured it's easier to ask first.

Thanks.

Of course it did!

Thanks for the link. I think I'll tap into one of those free fuse spots.

And thanks to M-Power M3 for the handy color-coded fuse card.
Saves a lot of fishing around in the WDS.
