Default Where to tap a constant power supply for my XM install?

i'm installing it in the glove compartment hopefully, so what wire is a good one to tap? I need one that is always supplied with power regardless of ignition switch position. Thanks

If you're installing in GB, just run a wire over to the fusebox and use a fusetap (Radio Shack)

Default One of the power taps under the drivers knee bolster should have continuous power...

not sure which one though. 75X is switched power (which I imagine you could use...do you really need it when the car is off?)
