Constant 12 volt power from cig lighter?

[SupraTT]

I recently purchased a dash cam and would like to have it powered and recording when i leave my car unattended. Is there a quick/easy way to have the cig lighter constantly powered, as oposed to working only off the ignition??

Use the power seat power.

I have something that needs power when the ignition is off, I used a "add a fuse" in in the rear fuse block and pull power from the Power Seat. Ignition on or off its always live.

C912 on the underdash fuse box is a open connector for battery. I would suggest using a inline fuse.

You would still need to get a accessory plug to connect to unless the cam is 12v. If you want a nice installation you can get a plug kit from SOS that mounts in the glovebox and just cable it back to C912.

Pull power from the fuse box from the drivers side fuse box C912 connector.
Just add your desired connection system and ground.

To do this, you need to pull the center console, and remove the cig relay to the left of the shift lever. Jump to terminals with a small jumper wire and two spade terminals, and the lighter is hot all the time.
