    Greetings all,

    First time post!!!

    I am trying to install a United Bearcat CB in my 2018 Tacoma Off-Road and am having problems with the power. I had this CB installed in my last truck and dont remember having near the problems I am having.

    The manufacturer recommends tapping into the 12v power supply off of the ignition switch accesory terminal. Not sure how/if its different because my truck has the push button start, but I can't find where to find the right wire. PLEASE HELP!!!

    The lower dash power outlet is switched power. It comes apart easily. You can tee into the wires in the connector.

    If you search my old posts, I have a pic of it apart. I tapped in there for front camera power.
