I leave it plugged into the cigarette lighter that's located in the center console.

Thanks, this is the part I was missing... sorry for being dense! (I've had the center console filled up with napkins & junk since I got the car last year, and never realized that it had its own cigarette lighter.)

I have it hidden inside my center console. I never see it, the jazzy cord runs down underneath my shifter and whatnot straight to there.

I get the audio cable part... but what about the charging cable?

Why not buy this instead? less wires and works perfectly, I have it in my car sitting in the center console. pro kit with ground loop isolator reaches in there no problem.

 

Amazon.com: Miccus Mini-jack RX: Bluetooth Music Receiver pair it with Phones, Tablets, PCs and Apple Devices: MP3 Players & Accessories

That device looks cool. But is it really less wires? It seems like you'd have to leave it hooked up to a dc usb charger all the time...
