    Center console power

    Hi,

    I'm trying to tap into the existing cellular phone bundle under the center console to power my Bluetooth setup instead of using the cig lighter and always having that door open.

    I've read all of the threads that I can find on this and other forums, (really sucks that Photobucket changed their policy and you can't see most of the pics on old threads anymore ), but I saw that you can tap the purple with white stripe for power and brown for ground. Of course, my '06 didn't have purple with white! I tried a purple with red, but that didn't work. (and before anyone gets their panties in a wad, I know to check for voltage, but my tester wasn't working and I wanted to see if I could get lucky... I didn't)

    So my question is, does anyone know which wire is power if you don't have purple with white stripe? I'll get a new voltage tester on the way home today, but I thought someone might know.

    (I'm attaching a pic, but it's not very good. If I'm still having trouble I'll take another one).

    As always, thanks for the help!
