pro install kit HELP

[skt4271]

i got a stratus 5 and i bought the pro install kit that sirius sells. i got all the installation done, except the main part. i don't know how to run my power wire. do i plug it into my fuse box directly. where does the power wire run to?

I would suggest tapping into the fuse block directly and having its own fuse, otherwise using a fused link into a 12V switched or 12V constant power source.

If you give me your make model and year I can send out a color/location coded diagram for where to tap into

12V switched or 12V constant power source.
do you mean, running a power line straight from the battery.

switched would be like an ignition switched wire that would be hot only when the ignition was on. Constant would be a hot wire at all times.
