    Does anyone know where to hardwire a GPS in the fuse box so that it turns on and off with the car?

    Use one of the add-a-fuse things you can buy them at Autozone

    he wants power when the key is turned on so a switched 12v source is required

    I actually did mine with the ignition wire. Its wasn't hard to wire in...costs me 20 bucks at a local audio store. They did it perfectly and I live it that way

    "ADD" a fuse. You're not replacing the fuse with a new one, but it adds a second fuse.
