Cig lighter /Acc Plug Question??

I use the Acc plug to charge my phone and would like it to stay on all the time (Battery hot instead of Ignition hot) SInce the car has CanBus I dont want to do a total rewire if it can be programmed.

Anyone done this? Rewire?? How do you get the needed panels off?
I know most new cars they just pull off but that always scares me as I think I am going to break something unless I KNOW it pulls off.

Comments please???

You could ask on this thread,

Strobeyprobey has done a lot of research on that kind of thing.
