I have heard of people attaching a jumper cable to the starter motor to get power to the system. You'll probably have to remove some belly pans to get to the starter.

Tenspeed; you suppose the cigarette plug could work to get power to the system?

Yes, you can plug into the cigarette lighter socket. They are usually hot all the time.
