I am attempting to hard wire the power for a Delphi MyFi portable satellite radio cradle into 2 different vehicles, a 2005 Honda Civic, and a 2003 Chevy Silverado.

My goal is to be able to turn the power to the satellite radio on and off with the ignition key.

Is this possible and if so, what wires do I tap into?

On both of those, I bet the "cigarette lighter" is switched. I know for a fact that it's just a power outlet in the Civic. That'll probably be the easiest.
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
