These GPS usually have a step down transformer and a 2.5 volt fuse built into the cigarette lighter socket. If you stick it straight onto 12 volts you might blow the GPS. You wont have any fuse protection.
Are you serious? Just lick the freaken suction cup and stick it to the window! DONE! Look I didn't even post a video. For retards, just mop up your drool with the suction cup and use your non-retard hand to stick it to the glass. DOUBLE DONE!
Hey I was just going to use my stock lighter so I took it away from the stock location and put it behind the center console.
Not the lighter has juice going to it all the time (Even in the off position with the keys out. Do you know why/what would cause it to do that? I don't want the GPS to drain my battery over night.
How come on my other cars that I've had, when I turn off the ignition the cell phone, gps, etc that I have plugged into the lighter looses power as well?
can i wire the gps using the power wire going to head unit or car deck!? or can i use the power wire going to cigarette lighter.. they're the same 12v right!?
great

I think on some vehicles they call it a power outlet.I could see them as having a switched source.
