I am planning to install a cell phone booster on my 2022 CC Powerboost. Is there a switched power source under either the driver or passenger seat that I can tap in to? I only need 2A. The alternative is running a wire all the way to the fuse box, which I can do if I need to.

On my 21 XLT, I needed switched power for my dash camera. Got it from the fuse panel on the passengers side kick plate. Use an ADD A CIRCUIT I got from Amazon

Has anyone tapped into any of the passenger seat harnesses for this. That was my plan, so if anyone has any insight and would like to share, I would be very appreciative.
Thank you,

You could tap into the rear-view mirror power. I did this with an adapter to power my dash cam.

Do you by chance have a link to the adapter you used?

Sure, keep in mind this is for a specific use, deliver power to USB.

Rear-view mirror power adapter

There are other threads about what pins you can tap into on the rear view "plug" to get power/switch etc.
Appreciate it, was planned to use this solution for a USB powered dash cam
