I wouldn't want the MARX brothers working on my car.
I'm not to sure about the PEP BOYS either.

The beauty of aftermarket, you can make almost any car do almost anything you want as long as you have the $$$! I'm looking into a flux capacitor with a Mr Fusion for a powersource... Roads? You don't need roads where we're going.

This one even powers some of your electronic devices....

The key, for me, is to wire at least one of the ports to be connected directly to the battery so it has power when the vehicle is off. I rewired one in my Tundra like this, so I can charge a phone either at work or while camping. I think a port with a little on/off switch would be cool as well, but I guess pulling the charger out of the port isn't all that difficult.

EDIT:
When I say directly to the battery, I don't really mean that. It still goes through the fuse panel, but to a fuse that is 'always hot'.
I like to be even more energy friendly.. I have a small solar panel I stick in the front windshield to charge small devices ( phone/tablet) it also saves the dash by protecting it from the sun. I will however also do the same mod.. for a solar trickle charger.
