Ok, I'm lost. My plan was to take the cig adapater thing and decaptidate the part that plugs into the cig lighter. Then take those two wires, ground one of them to the chassis, and another into a switched 12V power source, like the CD player.
Why wont that work?
Chances are good that it would work. Plug the cig adaptor in and use a volt meter to see that it's putting out 12V. If it is, then it is nothing more than a fuse holder and it's not changing the voltage at all. If this is the case, just cut it off and wire it in!
