well its gonna require some rewiring. mainly running a wire from the + battery (with the proper fuse ofcourse) to the socket's power wire and splice it in. i think the stock wire is only 16 gauge, so you could use that and maybe an 8 or 10 amp fuse.

^^^^ You will need to cut the wire going to the center lead of the outlet (leave some wire remaining on the outlet so you have something to work with when doing the new source connection) Also fold the cut end of the factory wire over and tape it with electrical tape to isolate from shorting to ground.
You should also fuse near the source connection of the new constant 12volt source with an inline fuse holder.
