Default Hard wiring sat nav

Gang,
I want to hard wire my sat nav and phone charger to save keep plugging into the lighter socket. Is it okay to take a feed from the stereo leads so and wire both directly in?

You could and i would uprate the fuse by say 5 amps to cover the extra draw in current.
Prob easier taking a feed from the cigarette lighter or 12v acc port.
