What did you do with your DII today?

I would tap into the cigarette lighter circuit. The "delicate" electronics are much more likley to get disturbed by the process of running the wire back to the battery and the adapter will never draw more than an amp or so. It is a PWM converter and power, not current, is the issue. (Power = volts times amps).

There is no possible way to "overload" the cigarette lighter by running a usb charger from it unless the charger becomes defective. Then, the fuse blows and you replace the charger and the fuse. Until you do, the cigarette lighter does not work. The engine doesn't fall to the ground, the gas tank does not blow up, the ecu does not fail and so on.
My statement about affecting the existing wiring is that while you are snaking the wire in, you might skin another wire or dislodge some connector, or make a new less watertight penetration. Not likley, but just sayin, there is risk in anything.
BTW, when you plug your phone charger in at your house, do you worry about blowing your TV?
