It has a built-in switch on the end of the plug (that lights up red) that allows you to turn it on and off, but it is wired for the memory circuit. I hard-wired an auxiliary outlet under my dash on the kick panel to plug it into. I have easy on-off access while still leaving the memory circuit on, and the red light is low and out of the way so it isn't obnoxious while driving at night. Leaving the memory circuit on means not having to wait to acquire the satellites. I love this little unit. Highly recommend it.

If you have the basic skills then yes. Looks to be a transformer though, you could purchase an auxiliary power port, similar to a cigarette lighter, hard with that and then plug it it. That would be best cause the on/off switch is on the transformer that lugs into the lighter.

They do sell cigarette lighter splitters, it plugs into the cigarette lighter and has two cigarette lighter outlets. They have them here in Amazon. Just do a search for "cigarette lighter splitter" and they come right up!

Rather than hardwiring it, they sell cigarette lighter hubs that have like 3 outlets and plug into your 1 cigarette lighter outlet.

hard wired as is, but you can put a regular plug on it if you want to use an outlet.

Sure is, several ways you can do this basically i'd grab one of these http://goo.gl/s3luSY with this u can use cigarette lighter plug .. or cut the cig lighter plug part off, shore the wires and use either alligator clips or an extended piece of wire if necessary and connect directly to your battery just dont get the + and - wrong. Hope this helps somewhat. - Steve

No, I do not believe it can be plugged into a cigarette lighter unless if you have the AC adapter/ converter.

this unit has to be hard wired. no plug. i remove the old one and installed this one in it's place if you are handy, it is not a hard job. it really looks nice when it's installed.

Yes, you can hard wire to your fuse box. However, your are risking of drain out the battery. You could try with a high capacity portable battery, something like Poweradd Pilot Pro 32000mAh.

The unit has a power cord with a standard grounded plug. You could cut it off for a hard wired installation, but the plug works for me. Great unit, I have two now!

Yes it can be hard wired. AND... I really like the garbage disposal (if one could really LIKE a garbage disposal!),. It's pretty quiet!

Sure it can be hardwired. Just cut off the plug on the cord and connect your wired. Not sure about removing the plug cord completely and directly connecting

yes it can be hardwired. I had my dealer install it on my dash for easy reach.

I haven't hard wired mine, I just deal with plugging in the adapter when I use it. Wiring it into a 12v switched circuit is easily done by buying a 12v lighter accessory socket with wires and connecting it to the switched source and plugging the adapter into it. Now it will go on and off with the key.

It will need to be hard wired. The wire is very thin and the instructions are poor.

Yeah you can hard wire anything, comes with a plug. You are crazy to hard wire, I would hard wire a female receptacle then you would have a second plug for a light if you need it. But you could cut off this male plug and hard wire it.

I have mine directly wired to a heavy-gauge 12V cigarette lighter without a problem. To best protect your existing car wiring, though, I'd wire in a relay. It's not that much extra work and it keeps the load off the factory wiring..

No. This is for your home. Or any where that a "cig lighter style outlet" is needed and not present. So lets say u have a car charger for ur cell phone. U could plug the cell charger into this device if it was plugged in say at home in the house.I use it for my portable xm radio that plugs into my boat/ car. Using this I can plug it in at home or anywhere else I travel for parties ect and dont have to find a car outlet.

Yes, but you'll have to use the included heavy-duty cabling. The skinny cable with the cigarette lighter plug is too light.

The cord has a cigarette lighter plug on one end. So you would have to cut it off and sort the wires out and go from their.
