is there a 5v wire in the harness?

I can't answer your question on if there is a 5v wire you can use, there's a couple guys on here that know more about the wiring than anyone should that might chime in. Anyway, if there's not, maybe you could just tap into a 12 volt source and throw in a 7 ohm resistor.

pentavolvo is correct - use a voltage regulator..
one of the more common 12V:5V regulators is the 7805 -- look into it, see if it fits your application.

...oops, I thought that's how it worked...I could've swore it was something like that 
I either forgot a bunch of stuff or that physics class I took last year was retarded. Sorry, apparently I'm an idiot 
Edit: I've been thinking about this, did I just forget to factor in the current, or is there way more to it than that? Either way, I'll let my wiring stop at car stereo's, doesn't get much simpler than that
