cigrette lighter not very useful power port

is it just me or is our 12v cig lighter too short for most cell phone adaptors n devices to be charged in the car?

what does everyone else do replace it with a different one or wire up a seperate plug somewhere else?


or maybe im dumb and there is another one i havent found?

They are fairly shallow, mine hangs out of the port quite a bit and easily drops out if bumped. I just try not to smack it when I'm in there and deal with it.

(wow that was full of innuendo)

You guys are in luck, we have a cigarette lighter upgrade from the 996's.

It is found on our website here!

Let me know if you have any questions.
