I am thinking of rewiring them to a proper ACC that turns off when I cut the engine.

Thanks for the link!

What's the issue with power to them being on all the time? Do they have a high passive draw?

I use those. That little button on the right turns them on and off. I have left them on before while the cars have sat for a few days with no problem. The passive draw does not seem to be too much.
Edit: So I had one in the shop and measured it. Off current is 2mA. On current with no load is 8mA. On current with load is dependent on what you have hooked to it of course. .

I purchased these on Amazon. The fitment for the lighter was a bit smaller than the USB adapter, so I had to Dremel it a bit to open it up. I also put one in the back seat for the rear passengers. I still have a lighter in the center console and the back if I need one. This is the exact one I used. It's a simple hook up. The only thing I hate is the aux fuse is a constant 12v.

if you can find the retained power wire at the radio somewhere. that might nice to use instead of a hard cut with the key acc. I have mine wired to acc and use it for the Bluetooth dongle so it doesn't kill the battery but it would be nice if it stayed in with the radio till you open the door or it times out.
