Default '06 CTD - 12v Ignition-only Source in Cab?

I'm wanting to add in a CB radio in the rig, and noticed that there doesn't seem to be a fuse box inside the cab on the '06 models. Only one under the hood. Just wondering where anyone else has tapped in for 12v power (ignition-on only), before running anything through the firewall.

Thanks in advance.

There is a ingnition only fuse in the fuse box. I have an 06 and that is where my remote wire is for my amp. I think it was #28, I'm not sure though. It says on the top of the box.

I tapped into the power for the lighter.

if you have an aftermarket deck just splice into the remote wire.
if not, then just run a wire to the fuse box.

If I remember correctly, the powerpoint sources (not lighter) are always on, and the lighter is only on when the ignition is on. Splice into the lighter 12V and you'll have your power.
