Re: One option: how does one easily nad neatly remove the lighter?
Grant, assuming the '00 is still the same as '97-'99 in this regard, the oddly shaped plastic panel holding the lighter receptacle and several buttons just sort of pops off with a little careful prying from the side. You should then have easy access to the wires going into the back of it and tap into its 12V source.

...oh, to then remove the lighter receptacle... Not sure but with the panel off hopefully there's something obvious that clips it in place. Or, if you are totally done with it, cut out whatever is permanently retaining it.
