I think it would be best wired into the stereo wiring loom there you have a live a neatral and a switch live from the ignition.
Black is Neutral
Red is perm Live
Yellow is Switch live from ignition
You probably new this already but here it is again.

If it's an early dash, the console comes out with four screws.
There are two at the top, behind some clips and two at the bottom under the gear gaitor. Best to remove the stereo first. The cig lighter has two wires, positive that has a connector and the earth which is rivetted to the barrel.
Cut the wire on the geodesy that has the cig lighter plug on it and wire the one with the red stripe to teh positive then wire the orther one to an earth point or use the one with the rivet.
There are a couple of wires going to the side of the lighter but this is just the bulb to illuminate it when the lights are on
hope this helps
