    advice on where to tap for power??

    i need to add a few things to my mirage and i need a few options for power.
    other then the power port ( what is its max drain btw? 15amp?)
    i need constant 12v for the front and the rear of my hatchback.
    rear: motion/driving camera and power port to charge phones in the back.
    front: phone charging port for the glovebox

    where is the best place to tap for power ??
    fuse panel? any wires in the rear with 12v constant?
    battery? ( any handy holes i can use to pass the firewall?)

    i have a number of things that i need to power/charge
    gps, 2 phones, 2 cameras, tablet, laptop and power banks.. but only the first 3 always.
    (if i get tired of the factory stereo then amps and etc also oneday)

    What year and trim Mirage do you have? Early versions have two unused circuits that others have used.

    Consider making a Garage entry and we won't have to ask! Look for the link under your name in your posts, or use this:

    Garage empty: add car
