Anyone give me some advice?
Also... is the lighter switched or is it always hot?
i was thinking about tying into it for the headrest DVD players I got the kids but I want it to be switched.
If not I will run the power wires up to the fuse panel and get an "add a fuse".
i am looking for the least amount of disassembly of the interior to run the wires.
Removing center console in 2006 Pathfinder

Center console between the seats or center in the dash? Between the seats is easy - pull up the fascia over the top of the drink holders, then pop up the centerpiece around the shifter, back end first. Beyond that depends on where you want to go and what you want to do. I'm assuming you're running some power cables; this gives you enough access to do that (or at least it gave me enough to run some stereo to under the seat stuff, and gets you to the back of the console outlets).
The dash outlets (I don't have a lighter) are always hot. The one inside the arm rest storage compartment is only live when the key is on.

Ah...you may be right. One of mine has had a blown fuse for a little while so I didn't remember.
