This is an old post. I'm doing the same this w/e, using the Escort hardwire kit and also adding hardwire for Garmin GPS. If you got your's done, let me know how it went.

Have you tried taking out the bolt to see if it will slide/drop down (7th gens did, I have not tried my 8th yet)

I need to do the variable delay wiper switch upgrade and need to get to the connector S in the back.

As far as tapping in... those fuses are super tiny. I doubt that the available fuse taps are compatible with them. If you want switched power then parallel off of the 12 volt outlets supply wires.

Hey guys,
I just bought a 2004 Honda Civic DX Coupe 2dr MT. I will be buying insurance and putting plates on it in 4 days, on Monday!!! Cannot wait. Love the car.
I already ordered the Beltronics Vector 955 Radar Detector (highly rated) and the Garmin Nuvi 255 GPS (older, but also highly rated).
I am also planning to run both my radar detector and GPS to my fuse box. I found a direct wire for the detector, but cannot find a direct wire for the GPS.
Are there additional 12 volt sockets that I can directly wire from my fuse box available, or am I going to have to try something else?
Since we are doing the same job on different gen cars, I'd really like to know how yours goes, and any problems/advice you may have.

Thanks, good luck,

-Nate

P.S. - I also started a thread in ELECTRONICS about swapping out my gauge cluster for one with a tach (from the LX, EX, or Si). You can see photos of my car there.
