The ciggie plug melted long ago and I wired up one of those 3/16"
cannon shaped connectors used for low voltage home stuff like
laptops, external HDs etc. It also gets very hot and is starting to
melt. What's a good off-the-shelf solution which doesn't take up much
room? The whole ciggie plug thing is the dumbest convention ever, I
must say. I can't believe it's still extant.

Forget connectors, use broadcast power!
