About to install FM modulator for Ipod

Bought a used 2003 G35 sedan. CD player has the F3 code. Got a quote of $350 to repair. Instead, I am going to install an IS77. As far as getting power to it, I would rather not cut any wires. I am planning on using a fuse tap. Couple of questions. 1) what type of fuses does this vehicle use ie atm,ato etc? 2) Should I piggy-back using the existing cigarette lighter fuse or use an open slot in the fuse box? Typically I'd be running a GPS unit in the cigarette lighter while using the IS77. 3) If I use an open fuse slot, what amp fuse tap should I use?

Just use a T-tap on the cigarette lighter power wire.

Thanks. While searching for these I came across something called a "Posi-Tap" which would also work.

Was not aware of this device but in all honesty I am looking for a very inexpensive solution and probably wouldn't have gone for it since it's 3 times more than the IS77.

I'm sure you could find a used one, either on here, 350z forum, or ebay. I bought my used, worth very penny. I wouldn't want to mess with tapping into power etc. but that's just me.
