Can't you hardwire it into the car, behind the dash, then have cable leading out to the appliance that you want to connect. The FM modulator you could hide anyway behind the dash, and just have the cable to the MP3 player showing, and as for your PSP do the same.

Does this help?

Why don't you use the existing feed for your cigarette lighter? If you come off that, you are using existing cabling that is already protected by the correct fuse, therefore you shouldn't overload it.

What you are using shouldn't do that anyway. The main panel around the stereo comes off easily enough in the Avensis, so you can hide stuff behind there.
