1979 so nothing extra other than a stereo.
Get the G/F a pre evolution (was it ?) Harley and have the same experience for free :-0

that's cool man... glad it worked out for ya...
i'm just say n ...you tapped into a circuit that you know nothing about whats on it and what it's powering... some circuits don't like that... air bag circuit , pats sys. , ecu..ect ect...
as far as sexual devices and harley's go...this is what i installed on mine for my girls.. n they love it..

I am by no means an electrical expert but i have tapped them into one of the steering column wires with a 25 amp in line fuse, there is always a wire that has power when the ignition switch is in the accessory position. The ground i use is one of the screws that attach the bracket to the lower dash rail or the steering column mounting bolt when i did one without drilling the rail. On the later injected cars they look well placed when you use the "original" choke cable hole as a mounting point.
so you just grab a wire from the steering column , tap into it , put a 25amp fuse inline and call it good???
what gauge wire are you tapping into ?? will that gauge wire support a 25amp load ?? what else is on the wire circuit ??? will there be sexual Appliances used ..???
???? i don't like it.....
brother boison might chime in and help....
Yep that's what i did on the advice from an auto electrician but i lied after checking it has a 10 amp fuse in it. What the wire powered i don't know he said use it with a fuse so i did and with the same gauge wire, still working fine 4 years later.
Sexual devices ???? unless you call the vibration from the Mini front seats sexual (kinda similar to a Harley sitting at a red light) then no, you should know Willie Duracells are the way to go ;-).....

I want to install a 12v receptacle complete with USB sockets to my 1999 Japanese Rover Mini Cooper via an add-a-circuit.
1) Is the 1999 Japanese Rover Mini Cooper negative grounded?
2) Where are the grounding screws/points located?
3) What would be the best fuse to tap a circuit into?
Any advice would be much appreciated.

1...yes
2..any clean metal
3..run one straight from the battery...20amp
