I am wondering if there are any unused (open) 12 volt connection points somewhere inside the dash on my Sahara? It would make internally hooking up a GPS unit much cleaner, especially if the connection was ignition based.
Thanks in advance!

If you have the tow package with the Aux buttons, they include a 12vdc ignition controlled lead in the harness.

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, my JL didn’t come with the tow package.
As an aside, I read where someone suggested tapping into the electric mirror connection for a 12 volt source. I don’t know if this is a good practice, but am wondering if anyone out there has done this to power a small accessory like a GPS?
