Default accessory power for MP3 player in 2004 Odyssey

I have sent some private notices, but...

Does anyone have any ideas for getting accessory power and ground to an aftermarket MP3 player? (Yes, I am new to the Odyssey). The audio is provided by RCA L/R connected to a PIE CD-changer-port to AUX input converter. However, I also need to connect the power wire to accessory power and ground wire to the ground.

Option 1: Get an appropriate harness. Anyone know the right harness, and where I plug it in? Is there an available jack below the steering column or nearby?

Option 2: Get power from the CD changer port. Anyone know the pinout and which ones provide accessory power? Will that provide enough to power both the PIE converter *and* the MP3 player? What is the amperage rating?

Option 3: Direct wire. OK, I admit it, I am not sure where to direct-wire it to!

Thanks for your help.
