Finding an ACC Source in an 05 Base Coupe
I found fuse 20 but when I try to insert a mini fuse (as found elsewhere in the BCM) it feels sloppy and gets no voltage. Any explanation?

Are you talking about wiring in just a head unit? I never have any issues using the factory power wire. I also use the harness adapters so I don't cut up the factory harness.

I ran the fuse tap to the interior fuse panel because its like 10 inches from the receiver, and I would have to get through the firewall etc. in order to make it to the underhood fuse panel. Sorry I don't have any pics yet but the install was successful even though I must now turn off the reciever each time I exit the car.

Yes, here is the kit I installed, which includes an extra red wire to go to an ACC or ignition source. I ran mine to a battery source.
