Presumably, you are suggesting, that the cig lighter in your truck is live, permanently. That you would like to change this to live, only when the ignition is on! Is that a correct assumption?
Alternatively are you wanting to have an additional cig lighter to use specifically for sat-nav and that you want this to be only live when ignition is on?
I am only asking these questions to help speed up the process in advance of the helping hand when it arrives on the scene.

Change the live to only come on with ignition
I would think that to do that would require effectively re-wiring the socket, in which case you might just as well wire your dash cam direct to a switched feed on the fuse box. There are fuse taps available that make this quite an easy job.
