How different could your fuse box be? There's a label on the kick-panel just below the fuse box... have you checked that?

if you're nub like me (kinda) the way i did it first was

splice a phone wire and figure out which one was power and which was ground (red and green wires of the phone cable, this varies on which end you plug in and vice versa)

then wrapped the power to a accessory fuse

then electrical taped the ground to something metal

i dunno how good, bad, or okay that was to do, but hey it works

Use something a little more secure than electrical tabe. If you aren't going to screw it to something metal, at least use heat-shrink tubing or something that will clamp down harder than what tape can do. You can buy a fuse-tap (I think that is what it is called) and replace an existing fuse with an equivalent fuse-tap. It will have a prong sticking off of it where you can connect the power lead. Then, just secure the ground to a metal (unpainted) surface. I haven't looked under the dash, but I'd imagine there are a ton of options underneath.
