12v Constant, where can I find it?

hooking up my GEX-P920XM xm tuner. Its working, however, I have the power hookedup to the accessory so I loose my presets when the car is turned off. Found out that i need to connect that to 12v constant power. Anyone have suggestions hwere to tap into it at? Side driver side kick panel if possible.
I found a couple of hot wires, but I think they are providing too much power, it makes the xm cut off and on constantly.....
Any help is appreciated..

You should have a fuse on that power wire.

A constant on can be found at the fuse panel on the left side of the car.

I would use an add-a-fuse at the fuse panel. You can get them at the auto parts store.
