I'd like to hardwire a Bluetooth receiver in my console. Where and what power wire should I tap into that is convenient for this type of install? Ideally I'd like the wire to be under the armrest cubby.

Thanks!

I'm guessing the cigarette lighter socket wiring will do, but I was hoping for a constant power lead that wouldn't lose the pairing memory.

I think most of these devices remember pairing or re pair automatically
I wouldn't want to put more strain on the already overtaxed battery in one
of these.

use this

use USB port in cubby and aux port in cubby.

auto reconnect (even though it powers off) on every start.

Trying to avoid buying a new receiver when I already have a JL audio Bluetooth marine receiver with excellent sound quality.

How much is your time worth???

the item I linked you to is what I have stuffed in my box and works 100% as it should. I didn't have to splice or remove anything from the glovebox. I didn't have to tap into wires. I didn't have to convert RCA to 3.5mm.

You have asked if you could, but what you should have been is asking if you should

Thanks for the helpful response. Cars are my hobby. I have restored numerous British and German cars in the last 15 years. It's not about my time is money....I was asking a simple question that someone who has pulled the console out and seen the wiring may have answered.
