2004 F-250 accessory plug

I want to wire my accessory plug so it's energized only when the truck is running. Any quick and easy and suggestions? I have a set of windshield warmers that I would like to come on when I remote start. Also, if I forget to turn them off, they won't drain the battery. If I ever get to a dual battery setup, I think I will tie the two batteries together with a solenoid, and provide a plug from the 2nd battery. But for now, ?.

You could add a foglamp type relay in the circuit to interrupt the voltage. The relay coil would be tied to a key on source in the fuse box. These relays are usually good for about 30 amps.
