I had about 3 seconds between things and looked around
a bit and found this:

It looks like pretty much what I was looking for,
although I'm not sure I know what it means by
alternator protection. Not sure how it secures in the
dash either. I don't see what prevents it from
twisting when you turn it on or off.
Any other ideas and suggestions are still welcome :)
Thanks! Hope this can be of use to others as well.
