Does not help this issue. Your still drawing whatever current through the circuit your tapping (through whatever other circuitry it is connected to). YES, YES, you can go straight to the FUSE BOX, like the installation instructions probably suggest. You do not need a fuse tap kit, but it might make the install easier if you've not done this before. They place an inline fuse in the accessory (what your installing) because they do not want people to sue them after something goes wrong (like melting wires/burning up your car). The installation manual probably says something like install to an accessory or hot point at the main or aux fuse panel and use the inline fuse after the hot line you tap into. These care are VERY sensitive to electrical issues, this is why you should not just tap into any hot wire in the car.. Good luck.
