So I went to fuse #7 in the glove box. Some people have used pin#11 for a switched 12volt source aka what goes to the red wire on the ibus adapter. Its your choice on that. I just chose the #7 fuse in the fuse box to be safe.
I used a multimeter to confirm what wire in the blue connector is only live when ignition is on and used that for IBUS 12v source. All 3 IBUS wires are connected to wires in the blue connector. The IBUS wire is white/yellow/gray. Ground is brown. 12V source is either red/green or red/gray.
