You'll need to get a cigarette lighter adapter (about $2 at Wally World). Wire it to the +12V and ground connections on the radio. Just be sure the radio won't draw more current than the cigarette lighter adapter can provide.

Found one at Radio Shack with a fuse in it. Recommended upgrade.

The $2 Wally World plug referenced above is also fuse protected (5A max).
