Hello all. I am installing a universal DVD headrest system in my new 2008 Ford Edge. I need to find a 12V switched power source and a 12V constant, hopefully close to the front seats. Would anyone be able to help? I have searched all of the databases, but have not found anything. Maybe I missed something. I would appreciate any help.

Being totally green in this whole process, do you remember what the colors of the wires that I need to tap into were?
