^^ I would suggest that you should keep the device’s low voltage in-line adapter in place, and plug this into a power receptacle (the “cigarette adapter” you mention).
Doing this is wise since the device may not be exactly 12v. If the device is 6v to 10v (and that is likely), it needs its step-down adapter for safe operation.

Can you post a link of the extra wires and stuff you bought to hardwire this up? I just ordered one of these and would like some help installing it if you don't mind telling me how you hardwired it (im a noobie at this stuff).

Then you need to find any 12V and a ground near where you want to hide the adaptor in the picture above.
Then plug in the a/c adapter that came with your Plenio.

- buy that adapter
- Take apart center consol
- splice my chord going to my 12v outlet and connect it with the adapter I need to buy
- run the normal plenio chord down through my center console and plug it into this adapter

As for power: the best way to route power for this would be to tap into your cig lighter wires. Pop out the plug and get some wire taps, red is positive and black is ground. You'll probably have to run some new wire. As the OP said, it will power on and off with the car. Another option is to tap into the ACC line on the back of the radio and ground the other wire.
I just wired up my own fuse box system in my car, which allows me to tap into power for any new accessories. You can check out the thread here: https://my350z.com/forum/audio-and-v...-my-setup.html if you are interested.
