I searched but didn't get clear answer on which one I should tap into.

My car is 2010 and I believe 11+ has the same diagram.
I'm looking for two switched power for my arming switch and bottle heater.
Can anyone point out which two?
I was guessing center info display(GPS) and heated seat relay coils but I just wanted to double check.
I don't have those options by the way.

Here's the list

1 30A Driver rear window (convertible only)
2 15A Brake on/off (boo) power
3 15A SYNC
4 30A Passenger rear window (convertible only)
5 10A Brake transmission shift interlock (BTSI)
6 20A Turn signals, Hazard flashers
7 10A Left low beam headlamp
8 10A Right low beam headlamp
9 15A Courtesy lamps
10 15A Switch illumination
11 10A Security module
12 7.5A Power mirrors
13 5A Not used (spare)
14 10A Center information display, Electronic finish panel, GPS
15 10A Climate control
16 15A Not used (spare)
17 20A Power door locks, Trunk release
18 20A Not used (spare)
19 25A Navigation amp
20 15A Diagnostic connector
21 15A Fog lamps
22 15A Park lamps, License lamps
23 15A High beam headlamps
24 20A Horn
25 10A Demand lighting (battery saver)
26 10A Cluster (battery)
27 20A Ignition switch feed
28 5A Audio mute (start)
29 5A Camera (run/start)
30 5A Not used (spare)
31 10A Restraints control module (RCM)
32 10A passenger airbag deactivation indicator
33 10A Not used (spare)
34 5A Electronic stability control
35 10A Auxiliary body module (ABM) run/start
36 5A Passive anti-theft system (PATS)
37 10A Not used (spare)
38 20A Not used (spare)
39 20A Radio/Navigation
40 20A Not used (spare)
41 15A Accessory delay (windows, automatic dimming rear view mirror [including microphone and compass] and door switch III)
42 10A Not used (spare)
43 10A Heated seat relay coils
44 10A Not used (spare)
45 5A Wiper relay and module, Blower relay
46 7.5A Not used (spare)
47 30A Circuit Breaker Not used (spare)
48 accessory delay relay

Also the add-a-fuse I bought says 10amp so it can be used only on 10A slot?

Thanks!

I would avoid the relay links

I would tap into the spares 37 and 38 and fuse them at 10 amps each, if that what is needed , you can fuse the 20 amp circuit down to 10 amp , but dont use a 5 amp circuit and fuse it to 10 amp.
But these will not be switched they will be on all the time. Easy to check with a test light
Also you can take one spare 20 amp , split it to feed your 2--10 amp feeds and install a switch to activate them.

It can't be on all the time just in case I forgot to turn off the switch.
So among the spares, if test light lit up when keyed on then I should good to go?
Thanks

So what you want to do is use test light to see if it does not light when the key is off
Then turn key on and see if it lights if it does your good to go

I am amazed at how many people don't know how to use a simple test light...
