    I used the cigarette lighter positive for that purpose in my TD5 defender.

    get one of these from Jaycar

    and plug it into a fuse that is live when the ignition is on.

    On my 2.2 puma it was a 15 amp fuse (F12) that was for the wind screen washers and wipers under the drivers seat. I fed that wire from there then under neath the vehicle back into the battery box and had my fuse box in the battery box.
