I would get a voltmeter and check what kind of amperage the wires are pulling. Not sure if I would pull power from that or not.

I just used some thin speaker wire and ran it around the window, down the pillar, and connected to the cig lighter. What about using the overhead console?
The size or gauge of the wires controls the power available on the line. I would imagine, but don't know for sure that the wiring could take an additional 250 ma. draw.
Just be aware that a hard wire install could make your vehicle illegal to drive in some places in North America....
