Find out if it's 5v or 12v first by looking at the back of the unit where the plug meets up.

the +12v center contact pin is sorta tough to do.....
if you hold your iron on it too long, it melts into the plastic and fux up access to the fuse and whatnots...
if i have to solder directly onto the cigarette adapter, i use a dremel and cut a notch into the side of the pin so i have something to wrap and hold the wire.

Nope, just thinking that if you ever road trip with someone else, you might want to take it with you in a different car. If you have soldered to the plug, you've screwed yourself.

I'll probably go and pick up one of the plugs and try to hard wire it in under the dash somewhere, then hide all of the wires all stealthy like. Thanks for the info guys!!
