Title: Cigarette lighter adapter Post by: Jai Sharma on 13 August, 2012, 10:31:41 PM Hi,
I wonder if there is a simple solution to plug in your satnav (or similar) into an old car - the cigarette lighters are a different size to the current standard. Any ideas? Thanks Title: Re: Cigarette lighter adapter Post by: andyc on 14 August, 2012, 07:02:53 AM Hi ya
I had the problem on my car the way i got around it was to buy a extension from a local carshop, its has a straight but longer plug that goes into the car's cigar lighter socket with a stretchey lead with a socket the other end to plug your phone/sat nav the other end.

Andy Title: Re: Cigarette lighter adapter Post by: Jai Sharma on 14 August, 2012, 12:26:44 PM Thanks, that is helpful.
Andy, satnav is a kind of small map powered by electricity. Now for the next thread "how to fix my cigarette lighter" (just joking) Title: Re: Cigarette lighter adapter Post by: lancialulu on 14 August, 2012, 03:16:35 PM I used a tap washer with a nut and bolt through it to act as a temporary extension. Its still going well 6 years down the line. I notice that some USB chargers are now so small they would slide down to the bottom of an old cigar lighter...
