12 Volt rear plug

I was out camping two weeks ago and found it a pain to use the rear 12 volt plug to blow up air mattresses and water toys because you had to keep putting the key into the ignition. I know some have switched it over to constant hot but it also changes the plug up front which I don't want. I searched for a connection this weekend with no luck. Is there another always-hot connection in the back that anyone has run into? I was thinking something used for the amp but I don't want to take the entire panel apart until I'm relatively sure there is something there.

Actually do the constant power mod then add in a new dual-outlet ashtray. The actual cig lighter outlet will remain switched by the ignition key and the aux power outlet stays on. I use to use the cig outlet for my radar detector (now hardwired) and I leave a cell charger cord plugged into the constant power outlet.

Thanks for the response but I already have the ashtray but would like to keep them both switched.
