Fused 12v direct from the battery to the positive on the lighter socket. then earth it to the chassis is the easiest way.
Do not wire a usb directly as the voltage is different and it cannot handle the variations in voltage, just plug your usb adaptor into it.

Well it's not rocket science.

I've put one on the Scoob on the passenger side of the centre gear stick cover. The bit was £1.99 delivered off e-bay. It's for the wife's SatNav.

DON'T wire direct to battery EXCEPT via a fuse!
