Any way to allow either the front or rear cigarette sockets to be powered without turning on the ignition?

you could wire them up to a permanant live + a switch.. but i dont see why..?

ye the best thing to do is wire it to perminat live. the easiest way to do this is behind the fuse box. rather than wiring a new wire to to rear

Are you sure the one in the boot isn't permanent live already?

I was thinking that - check the boot one, I thought it was different

Its probably pretty easy to change it if you look at the back of the fuse box
