Its just a power point receptacle. A simple fused 12v power source, wire, connector and ground is all you need. Center pin is hot, outer pin ground

You can use the lighter if you wish, as long as it is a fused 12V and the load of both devices used at any one time doesnt exceed the rating of the circuit.
