Has anyone ran their cb through their car power adapter outlet? Just looking into options. I’d like to remove the cb when I’m not wheeling and wiring it to the battery would make it hard even though I know that’s the preferable route. Using this, I figured I can unplug and disconnect whenever not wheeling. Thoughts?

It gets awfully noisy as the electricity is a bit dirtier, meaning that you’ll get some engine whine and other sounds as you’re driving. While you can adjust the squelch, it starts to negatively impact sensitivity to signals (which may or may not be fine if you’re in a group fairly close together).
You could do a quick disconnect elsewhere (maybe just inside the firewall) with a “Powerpole” connector, a pretty common quick disconnect power connector in the HAM space.
