Question Power Source in Sedan Trunk?

A quick question.

Does anyone know if there is an easy 12 volt wire to tap into in the trunk that is either keyed on, or non-switched (always live)?

Preferably at the top of the trunk area as I want to run a small power wire to my Blue Tooth GPS receiver that I use with my Palm Pilot. It doesn't have to run much current as it simply provides power/charge to the receiver.

I noticed the amp back there, and I suspect that I could tap off that, but before I poke a hole into several wires, I thought someone here would know the colour, etc. or another easy source.

Thanks In Advance.

Gord, there is also a switched hot that goes to the antenna booster.
It's controlled with the HU

Thanks. Actually, I just measured the out-put for the wire supply for the receiver. It's only about 5 to 5.5 volts. I should have done this prior to my question.

I suppose I could use a transformer and hook it to the 12 V supply, but if you know if there is one that is 5 to 5.5 volts (not sure if there even is one), it'd make my job easier.

TIA
