That works, but it's the hard way to do it. Look below. I have a wideband, radio, and extra cigarette lighter (phone charger) run via Add a Fuses.

But wont it be on all the time? A wire from where?
You Add A Fuse http://www.amazon.com/Bussmann-BP-HH.../dp/B000GKEXK2 They're sold at Autozone and stuff.
If you plug it into the correct slot it won't be on all the time. When in the car I think it's the bottom couple of rows (on the right in this pic).
