    Midland MXT275. I'm going to velcro it to the underside of the dash and use an add a fuse to tap power. Which fuse should I tap into? I've got a TRD-Pro. I'd rather not go straight to the battery because its got way too many things attached to it right now and I've already got the add a fuse on hand.

    I believe I want to have continuous power so the radio can be powered when the truck is off.

    The fuse block under the driver's side dash, behind the hood release, should have 2 empty slots. One is hot always. (Can't remember which one) That will work for what you're doing.
