On my 2004 There's a black/red wire combo deep behind the blank plastic panel (just before the sunglass holder). I was able to tap into those wires. Had enough room to put in all the Valentine 1 power kit fuse and wire stuff. Then just ran one end of the telephone cord to the unit by going between the overhead console and the fabric roof. Works magnificantly.
BTW those wires run over to the drivers side visor lights.
