Although it's easy to check, I have not yet done so... is the cigarette lighter always on or does it switch off with the ignition? If switched, this may be an easier tap than running a feed wire from the rear of the vehicle.
Take a look at this thread:

I think F27 would be the one to use. I'll be installing next week, will report back
