Hardwire my Sirius

Apologies in advance if this is too basic a question, but I'm hoping someone can make it clear.

I want to hardwire my Sirius using the Sirius Power Hardwire kit from Tss-radio http://www.tss-radio.com/sirius-vehi...it-p-4438.html, since I'm going to need the power outlet for something else.

I'm OK with all the connections up until the most important: power. I'm guessing that the best place to tap into the power would be at the fusebox, but where? and how? Or maybe there's a better option (that doesn't involve soldering).

Thanks; any advice is appreciated

I hardwired the power for my XM using a similar adapter. The XM plus my Nav unit don't exceed the power rating for the power outlet so I just used the clips that came with the adapter and piggy backed it onto the power outlet's leads. Looked (very) briefly at the back of the fuse box and gave up, opting to go with the easier solution of clipping it on.
