Can you run a new wire from the fuse box? Just tap into the BAT terminal.

So splice a new wire from the fuse box around and under to the dash to radio... Couldn't I also put it on the courtesy/radio fuse?

I spliced into the cigarette lighter. It has caused no problems whatsoever.

There may be a post on the fuse panel that is labeled batt. This should be live all the time. The lighter will work also
