Not off standard aux plugs . They go off with the ignition . I suggest a dual battery system with it's own sockets

As wiggs said there is apermanent live to from the trailer socket and there is a permanent live in the fuse box. Spade connector to one of the blank sockets bottom right of fuse box behind glove box. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Sorry for the hijack 
But I'm going to permanently wire approx 3 or 4 items into the dash.Sat Nav ,Touchscreen , Regulator and 1 spare socket in glove box.
Would I be better to stick in a seperate fuseblock and then wire each individual item to this
or
Hardwire the positives of each item to the wire as shown and stick an inline fuse on it ?
My ( non-technical)head tells me the former would be better ?

Wiggs - is that terminal fused (if so do you know which one and what rating) or is it direct to the battery?
