Default 2003 dash powerpoint install help

I have a 2003 track w/o the "smokers kit" power point in the dash. I know it was a $100 option, but I was hoping I could just pick up the parts and do it myself so I can power my xm radio from behind the dash into the cubby.

So does anyone have the part numbers for this front power point, or is it more cost effective to just buy a universal power point to wire in.

Also, is the plug already there under the dash for the power point? I do not want to tap into anything else for the power and if I have to run wires from a fuse block I won't even bother with a power point most likely.

Thanks for any help.

find a power wire to tap into under the dash, then get a universal plug in and wire it into the power wire. you might want to mount the plug somewhere with a nice looking surround (id cut a hole into the back of the cubby and use that as a mount)

Where would be the best option to run the new wire from in the Z? I have an extra fuse block from another car project.

In my other car, I ran a relay from the battery to a fuse block, but its battery is in the hatch and easier to access.
