I'm all for power to radio all the time and ciggy lighter!!! Never know when the Zippo will crap out on ya.
Hmm.. couple of ways to do this.
1. Run a dedicaded wire to the ciggy wire and splice, ~sighs~ "wire" ~air quotations~ it to the hot side of the ciggy lighter.
2. Find the memory wire for the Radio (should have 12V all the time), and run a jumper wire from it to the Ciggy Lighter hot wire.
3. Get an external Ciggy Port (the ones not meant for ciggy lighters) and wire it up under the hood... straight to the batter with a fuse.
Oh yeah USE A FRIGGIN' FUSE FOR ANY OF THESE!!!!! I wouldn't want to see a Supra lost to a fire. :evil2:
Melting wires are not fun... I learned the hard way on motorcycles.
Got any questions? Hit me up.

A wise(ass) man once said just run a wire next to it, and the electricity will just jump through the air to the new wire.
