    What Would You Do - I have a number of things I want to add to my truck and thought I needed/should use the extra fuse panel to do it, however the money for that dried up. So I'm wondering how would you power the following using the stock system of a 2008:

    1) Reverse camera - I have an aftermarket head unit and camera. I plan on using a AOB switch to turn it on at-will. It needs a relay as the switch can't take full 12v (needs 3v).

    2) Radar detector - I have a radar detector and will hardwire it to an AOB on/off switch. The switch will also require a relay.

    3) Auto dimming/compass/temp (?) rearview mirror - future add. I don't have the cheddar for this now, plus I believe the connector is already in place.

    So after all that I really just need power to 2 relays. Where would you draw this power from and would you utilize an in-line fuse or...? Tap the Cigarette power wire?
