u can get the power from your headunit wiring, depending on wether u want it to be able to put out power without the ignition turned or when u have to turn the key, thats your choice, just make sure the positive is fused, i think a 5 amp is fine but u can check on the lighter socket itself, then just ground the earth, and your done!
