I usually tap in-line with the radio. Sometimes I put an extra fuse in line to make things safe.

I tapped the Cruise control circuit at the interior fuse panel. There is nothing on it in the evo and it stays hot while cranking.

That doesn't mean there isn't a circuit for it in the fuse box.

On the back of the radio, what color wire is power? Someone told me blue, but the blue wire on my harness is cut from when I had subs and the head unit in my previous car, and as the head unit still works, thats not power, so what color is it in mitsubishis?

What color wire is providing CONSTANT power for the cigarette lighter?

I accidently tapped the "switched" power, and now my WB is only on when my lights are...
