there isnt one

you can tap a switched ignition line in the fusebox... either heated seat or i go into the 2nd smaller fuse box on the right side under the cover and tap the wiper fuse (there are 2 of them, i believe its the one that DOESNT say dwell)

Default Accessory Power

I understand that there isn't an RAP option when you wire a new amp, but it seems there should be "accesory" level power somewhere in the fuse box. By this I mean, when you use the accessory setting on the start button, shouldn't you be able to get power? Right now, my Nav headunit is on, but of course, the aftermarket amps aren't.

I have it on the wiper fuse circuit and the amp switches on in accessory mode.

Did you look in the C6 audio FAQ at the top of the forum? If so, you might have missed this:

NEW INFO - STOCK AMP TRIGGER WIRE IN HARNESS!! 3-17-2009

The white wire in B3 of the 24 pin harness will work as an amp trigger. It has a delayed turn off and early turn on so the factory amp is alive for chimes. This is only for if you are adding an amp to a stock head, if you put in an afermarket head use the amp trigger from that.
