I’m adding a fused 12v plug in the rear console. Would it be ok to tap into the positive coming into the rear window controls to power the plug in?

goal is to have power with ign.

I have no idea if this would cause any CANbus issues or not, but you might want to look at tapping into the 12v in the dash, something like this:

Another option might be to tap into fuse # 57 with an add a fuse, lots of folks do it for halos on headlights, if I recall correctly its the heated seats fuse (and you can use it even if you have the heated seats).
