I want to add an addition power outlet to my 05 Accord VP inside the console compartment. I would like this one to be contant power if possible. I was thinking of using the an unused fuse fron the interior fuse box that is getting power. It seems that on my car fuse slot 3 which is for daytime running lights on Canadian models is getting contant power. My question is would that be alright to connect an accessory plug to and make it constant power or will that just kill my battery. I would just tap off my ACC fuse, but I alrealdy have that one being utilized. what do you guys think??

I added one by tapping into the constant 12V line running into the radio connector. Did it when I replaced the radio. I can
run my cell phone charger all night without draining the battery, which is why I installed it.

I did it on my 04 Accord by tapping into the driver''s side seat motor. Since that is "always on", it was easy to tap and run under the carpet and into the console. Since I wanted it for occassional cell phone use (as you describe) and wasn''t powering a toaster oven, I didn''t have to worry about overworking the circuit. I just cut and sealed the existing wire into the console power plug and rewired with the new line.
