I wired in an Aiwa CD-MP3 player.  It needed 3 power wires: constant 
+12v, switched +12v and ground.  The stock harness provided constant 
and ground; to supply switched, I tapped the wire for the rear 
windshield wiper, after confirming with my mulitmeter that it was 
switched.  It was very easy to run the new length of wire under the 
hush panel and then behind the console.
