12 volt power in engine compartment of 997

Trying to wire in trailer light harness in my 997.2 C2S.
Anybody know where I can access 12 volt power in the engine compartment?
From searching threads, I found there is a black box with a (+) on it in the engine compartment of older models, but my 997.2 does not seem to have this. So, anybody know where I can access 12 volt power in the engine compartment? Thanks.

Whatever source you tap into...other than battery, must maintain that 12v. I would think that a lot of the accessible items that use 12v in the engine may not have constant 12v. A good stereo shop can run a hidden wire from the battery to the engine. That's your best bet.

Don't have the answer but like RaidersR1 mentioned about running the wire. Just drill a couples holes & run it underneath the carpet & into the back.
