how to keep power on, but not the ignition

Hi All

Seems like the only way my car charger will work is if the keyfob is in and ignition ON. how do i not have ignition ON, but still get power to the charger for my phone and whatnot?

thanks!

well, this is by design. some cars have it like that, some don't.
you can re-wire your cigarette lighter to a constant power source.
pretty easy to do.

there is a constant power going to the back of your radio
