Best place in the cabin to tap in to 12v?
I'm going to be installing a profec b-spec II and a wideband soon and i need 12v for both of them. I was thinking splicing off of the cigarette lighter. The wideband is going on the steering column and the profec is going below the stereo.
Thanks!
Thanks!

There is an open fuse on the fuse block under the dash on the drivers' side. It is, unfortunately a constant 12V supply and not switched by the ignition switch.
There may be another source on the fuse block depending on the accessories you have on the car (i.e. sunroof, etc.)

In the fuse box next to my clutch pedal under the dash, there's an unused slot at the top which is switched 12V. It sounds like the same one that cblake3 is talking about, but I've tested mine with a voltmeter and is switched. I have my gauges, S-AVCR, and wideband all hooked up to it.

I dont think AHarada was referring to the stock gauges but rather the fact that he has aftermarket gauges hooked up to the unused slot in the interior fuse box next to the clutch area. I have a few gauges, wideband and what not all hooked up to the same area. I will see if I can find a pic as it is definitely the best spot to hook up any devices to a switched power source.

Just above the fuse panel cover, on the right. You'll see the socket.

i ran a relay with 12v (switched) at the left foot of drivers side as the switch, then fed a 12gauge wire from the battery to the relay, then the relay to a fused block to power all my accessories (v1, boost controller, gauges, cooling fan mod, afr) might be overkill, but ehh this way it allowed me to get a constant 12v as well as a switched 12v

What about a barrier strip (pictured below) wired in to this fuse socket with a fused link and grounded to the chassis? That way when you get a new accessory you just wire it in to the block instead of having to re-run wires to the fuse socket.
