Switched power = back of lighter socket

I think you might not have gotten a response before because this was covered in the past... a search might have helped!

Just use the power connector running to the lighter... it is normal spade connectors you can get anywhere (even in Oz I hope!) and tap into it. The lighter outlet is already fused so if you're just using it to power a DVD player or something, it should be fine.
