I think it was when one of my daughters had a Xsara, her lighter socket was permanently live. She wanted it ignition controlled for a dashcam. It was simply changed by turning a fuse to a second position. Could your fuse panel be similar?
I know that, in the past (when my employer used Xsara Picasso cars for the engineers) having the cigarette sockets permanently live caused us an issue, as the equipment we used to get our call details was rather power hungry. If you left it connected up overnight you would be calling the AA the following morning, so that they could come out and hook up their battery equipment!

Yes, I am paranoid, but am I paranoid ENOUGH?

No - that won't work - the BSI controls the power directly. The fuses are not configurable.
