Funny you should ask... I'm considering mounting one of these inside my center console:

There are three wires under the center console. One wire is a ground, another is a 12v source that is controlled by the ignition switch and the last is one that is a always-hot 12v. The two 12v wires are protected by 10A fuses.

At just about every parts store I go into, there are USB plugs that go into the cig lighter or accessory ports. These usually have USB connectors (2.0 and 3.0). Some cost about a buck, others may be 3-4 bucks.
