Hi

There is switched 12V in the centre console already - so you can use that. The only downside of that supply is that it gets cut during starting, as do several of the switched 12v supplies (eg wipers etc...)

Re modulator - I would stick with the FM one of the type I used as the Volvo use has an aerial amp in the rear roof area and the connection to the head unit is really best left as is methinks. Its possible to fit a modulator in there I expect but would question if its worth the hassle over the other type.
