Frax Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 You know the small flip up lid additional 12v power sockets that you get for your dash. Smaller the an cigarette lighter --------------- what do you get that plugs into them ? May be a daft question but I had on in my dash but never found a use for it, could not charge the phone or power the TomTom .

patrick Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Are you referring to these at http://www.mudstuff.co.uk/12v-sockets.shtml ? If so they sell the plugs there too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frax Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Yes that’s the one, why fit one of these rather than a cigarette lighter, are there any benefits? Frax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukspike Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 The benefits are they take a much higher amp rating and the plug does not constantly fall out, Spike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frax Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Well that is a good enough reason for me, My cigarette lighter socket always ejects my sat nav plug and I have it set to power down on voltage loss due to a failing memory so when the plug ejects the thing just switches off.
