Only caution with the cigarette adapter method is hearing that the cheap parts would cause the adapter to overheat but again I never went this route so hopefully it won't be an issue.
Ahhh. So I guess I'll hardwire it and pull the plug out when parking at home. Though I'm afraid I might forget. But yes. I'll try that then and see how it goes.

Thank you very much for all the info! It definitely did help me a lot. Can't wait for the hardwire kit to reach me.
