I've got a OBDXPro dongle that I got for programming, but I also like to use it for extra gauges on my phone. As such, I like to leave it plugged in. I also have a phone charger plugged into the cigarette lighter. Thankfully it only took me a minute to realize that these were full-time hot, not ignition hot. Whipped up a little easily removable mod to make it so the DLC and the cigar/cigarette lighter are key on only.

It uses a mini fuse circuit tap, a mini fuse extended fuse holder, and a mini relay. Grounded it to the body bolt right nearby just so I didn't have to find a ground in the box.

Works fantastic, and I can leave everything plugged in.
