Dash Volt Meter- What Are You Wiring It Into?

Purchased an AOB dual volt meter to install in the left cubby and am trying to decide where the best location would be to power it. Where are you guys grabbing power from?

 

I have been thinking about something like this too but didn't see any I thought looked remotely nice enough.

Do you have a trailer brake controller? If not, that's a good spot to grab a hefty +12v. I'm guessing, though, you only want this on with ignition? If so, you'd likely grab from the LSP POUTLET1 (cig lighter socket) but those wires are teeney tiny. You can also run add a fuse off the interior fuse box but then you can't use the OEM cover (MESO makes a bigger one with room) and then you can take whichever POUTLET gives you the most convenient exit location. There is a spare slot on my fuse block but it's always hot just like the trailer brake controller rather than ignition switched.

Power draw on those things should be super minimal so you have a plethora of options. If you want a no cut T harness, it's basically a pick-which-connector game. If you have any other custom switches with fused +12v and ground for the switch leads, that might be the first option.
