I used a

I am also planning to hardwire my GPS unit to the car. I bought the hardwire kit, however it is essentially two bare wires, one red and one black, so what kind of connector do I need to buy so that it will be compatible with the blue colored piece on the add-a-circuit pictured above?
I'm a total newbie when it comes to electrical stuff, although I successfully hardwired my radar detector to my Crossfire using a fuse tap. Now that I'll have another device in the car it makes it a little more difficult since I can't use that same fuse anymore, unless....does the add-a-circuit allow you to hook up more than one device? (i.e. both radar detector and GPS to the same add-a-circuit wire which is using the fuse slot - the radar detector's hardwire kit is the same...one red and one black wire.)
Here is the GPS hardwire kit:
