It is still a bad idea. When you connect a functional 12V battery to the cig lighter, the full amperage output of the battery is instantly available to any draw sources active in the vehicle, over which you have no control, not just the trunk release. The wiring through the fuse panel is much more stout and able to deal with a momentary high amperage spike if one occurs.............
