How do I add accessory wiring

I want to hard wire my GPS and my Sirius receiver. I would like to power them both from the wire that goes to the lighter outlet. I can't figure out how to remove the panel under the dash that hides all the wiring. Any ideas? Thanks, Jim

there are two circles to turn, and it pops off. then you can access the fuse box. i would suggest using an add a fuse, to protect your stuff.

Yeh, I know about the fuse box cover. The panel I want to remove is the horizontal one under the dash that hides the wiring.

I believe that there is a twist piece underneath and to the front. Twist to unlock and then gently pull forwards. Look at step #9 for instructions on how to remove. http://www.collegehillshonda.com/ins...8/AII38214.pdf

I purchased this http://www.tss-radio.com/cigarette-l...er-p-4057.html to power my GPS. I purchased these fuses http://www.accessafuse.com/access.htm to power it. I removed the driver's kick panel to locate a place for a ground. See step #21 from the above instructions.

For the Sirius Satellite radio I purchased this http://www.tss-radio.com/sirius-vehi...it-p-4438.html to hardwire it. I use another of the fuses and tapped the ground wire that I ran for the GPS. I hid the extra wire from the antenna and the power unit inside of the center console right near the cup holder cubby area.
