I am looking for a solid 12v constant to tap my CarPC into. I was going to run off my Pioneer HU existing 12v constant and switched, but think that I would be maxing out that line and may not be smart. I want a clean 12V constant source without having to tap right from battery.
Off hand, is the cigarette lighter a 12v constant source? Also, for the 12v switched, would it be okay to run off of the HU or would there be a better source for both?

The 12 volt power plug is one option. However if you need a clean and strong power source fuse and run a 14 gauge wire from your battery, and if you need a switched source setup a basic relay and a fused line from your battery.
