Ignition Feed cigar Lighter

Hi all.

 

I've just bought one of those dash cams for the 'ole girl' which has to have a continuous feed off the cigar lighter to operate.With the lighter being live all the time this means I have to unplug every time I park the car up.

Is it possible to change this to an ignition fed live to make my life easier ( otherwise I'll simply forget to plug it in )

 

Cheers all.

    Run a seperate socket to an ignition live fuse using a piggyback fuse connector.

    The rear wiper fuse slot is best to use.
