If you're going to keep it as semi-perminant then the best thing to do is run a wire from the battery. It's a piece of p*ss to do in the saxo, just use the grommet behind the glovebox. The only problem is that it will not turn off with the ignition, you caqn overcome this pretty easily with a relay is it's a problem.
Other than the ciggy lighter there isn't really anywhere else to take it from unless there are some free slots on the fusebox, you can't use the HU wiring because the current draw is wayy too high.

cut the cables and then hard wire them to the cig lighter postive and negative that way its fused and is also permanent depending on how u wire it up.
