Fuse box multiplier

I can't remember who it was from DCMM who had the nifty fuse gizmo that allowed you to insert a fuse-like gizmo in an unused fuse slot and pull a direct power feed off of it. Our DCMM hero connected that to some cigarette lighter power points, concealed them behind the dash, and ran some extra power lines to a nav system and and something else.

My question is where can I get one of these wonderful gizmos and what are they called. Between the ipod, the phone, the portible nav, and other stuff, I'm getting tired of all the wires coming off of one power point and making my car look like the back of my desk.

Anyone know what I'm looking for here?

Thanks a million.

Joe.

Here you go. I believe I got mine from an autoparts place. Do a search on NAM in the electronics to find out which curcut to jump off of for what you need.

Good luck

Really? I don't recall you talking to me, but I don't remember much anyway.
