The adapter has a short pigtail on it. You have to go from it to the fuse box so that depends on where your usb cables are.

Trying to not to add wire will leave you with a dilemma. The ibus and ground come from the factory stereo plug and those are in the center of the dash. With this setup the power wire for fuse #7 wont reach the glove box. If you put the adapter in the glove box it will reach #7 but wont be long enough for the ibus and ground connection.

Basically your going to have to add some wire one way or the other.

At least with adding to the power wire your running only one wire if you put the adapter in the center of the dash and connect it straight to the ibus and ground there.
