Find the, usually red, constant hot feed wire to your radio and splice that into your hot wire on the socket. Or even better by a long wire with an inline fuse and attach it to an empty constant hot port on the fuse box. If you plug in something that's taking in too much current it will blow that fuse and not kill your battery if you forget it's plugged in. All radios have a constant power feed wire.

you mean like the one at the back cargo area?, that gives you a dash warning which is a good idea but can run your batt down. i have a few things like my radio/security cameras running from seperate delay off relays that way it runs for a set time without running the battery flat. Ive spliced the radio +12v wire which is fused.
