I'm thinking of putting a DVD player inder the pass seat or somewhere near there. Im going to route the audio to the rear console aux port and potentially use the cigarette lighters back there. Would the cig lighter be "acc" because they're only on with the car? Then I could find a constant 12v wire and a ground? Any suggestions on placement so I'm not running wires all over? I want to make this an ez job.

Ciggerette lighter in cosule is probably best pick up for ignition switched supply- only problem is it does not stay on/come back on with the radio supply. If you want that, easyest pick up point is in boot, in fuse box. If you also want constant 12V, you can pick up easiest here too. Test whatever ccts you use- 1st when just turned off, then after 20-25 minutes, this ensures you are picking up both a switched and constant supply, as it takes roughly this long for car to enter sleep mode.
