Doesn't your boost gauge require a constant on? I highly suggest spending a little extra time and wire it to the fuse box using a fuse tap. Since the radio/nav is so heavily integrated into the car, it's not worth the risk of splicing wires and potentially causing electrical problems.

In the fuse box, F11 is the ignition and F16 is the constant power.

Here is a useful thread.

Thanks! Fixing it tomorrow this way! I though the fuse box was all the way in the engine bay..

That's the fuse box for the engine compartment. For HVAC and interior stuff run through separate fusebox which is inside the cabin.
