What you are trying to do is very easy.  I have not installed in many years.  You will have to remove the radio and get switched power from the radio harness.  I do not know what color the wire is but if you post this question in the car audio forum, I know they can tell you what color the switched wire is.    You can use that switched wire to power a phone charge or something of the sort.  If you are going to use it as an actual lighter, you will need to let them know when you ask the question.  It is possible to do it but you will need to use a relay.
