I was getting annoyed with my cigar lighter socket not giving my phone enough juice on navigation so I decide to upgrade the lighter socket with one of these.

the standard cigar lighter has two different size spade connectors so you will need to fix the wiring slightly.
you might find them cheaper elswhere.

i have also order this one which hasnt arrived yet

Sounds like a good idea, however, how do I get the old one out? I guess it might mean removing the central console?

On my 2002 it was quiet simple. Take a look at powerfuluk.com to see if they have any videos on how to do it. That's where I learnt how to do mine.

Thanks that site is certainly worth a look, but they haven't done a fitting video yet.

A bit more frreting on that site, and there is a video (featuring cam tech Craig) which shows how to remove the trim.

But having removed the central console to gain access the the cigar lighter in the ashtray, I found the new one wouldn't fit. It has a wider diameter than the original, which would mean somehow widening the aperture, and that is something I wasn't prepared to do. 2011 Vogue TDV8 4.4

Understandable with an 11 plate. my 02 I was less concerned and used this http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Power+Tool...ill/p61469 with a little opening up after and it fitted.

its much easier to fit one of these, only £1'ish from ebay,

I had several of those but they are usually lower rating and my phone was losing charge when used as sat nav. With my 4.2A I am a happy man. phone actually charges now when being satnav.

I've found the same thing - the ones that fit flush all seem to be 1A per output.

Anything with 2.1A outputs sticks out a bit further - and some devices need the higher current/power to charge properly.

That said - I just live with one sticking out a bit.....

I have one of those flush dual port thingies. Looks great but two iphones cant charge at the same time...does the job otherwise Jordan
