Answer 1

yes. it is time consuming, but if you find the main power wire (a car repair manual will tell you), you can move if from a circuit that is always powered and wire it to one that is on with the ignition. but ill tell you an easier solution, if you dont use those that often. go to Radio Shack, but a little bit of power wire and a switch. you can wire it the switch right in between the power wire that exists and run it up to the dash somewhere. then when you need the sockets, just flip the switch. ive done this before and it is a little easier than changing circuits over. just an alternative for ya

Answer 2

Yes, it is possible. You need to tap into a main wire that is hot only when the ignition is on. You can use a wiring diagram in a shop manual to find such a wire schematically, and/or use a power probe to find the wire physically. Usually, you need to tap into the wiring harness near the fuse box, or into the fuse box itself. It is not difficult, but it may be time consuming. A stereo shop should be able to do it for less than $100 US.
