Works great - until it overheats,
by L. Persona, 2010-07-23
I've had the adapter for the last 5 months - and it's dead. It was very useful to power a GPS and phone charger until it started to overheat and fill the cabin with a white smoke !!
I've used it with the same two devices all along - so doesn't seems to be any change in voltage or anything, but something that went wrong over time.
Giving it two-stars instead of one because, even though it almost caught on fire, it didn't damage both devices connected...
Does what is promises but is a bit bulky,
by tnmats, 2010-02-27
Item fits my 2005 Mazda 3s, does what is advertised. I use it to run my Valentine One radar detector and a Griffin iTrip FM transmitter for my MP3 player. No problems with it in the first week since I got it. The only minor annoyance is it slips out of my the cigarette lighter socket a few millimeters but has not worked it's way out nor lost electrical connection. The unit is a bit bulky but not really much more than competing products. Seems well built and unlike units in the auto parts stores it's a low-key black, and not silver or silver with LED-lit blue flames.
As some reviewers have mentioned the product does not look like the picture here. It looks exactly like this Amazon product page image:
Two-Way 12V DC Car Charger Cigar Cigarette Lighter Double Power Adapter Socket Splitter, Black / DUAL SPLITTER / UNIVERSAL for suitable for cell phone, GPS, iPod, and PDA (ALL Cell Phone Models
And as noted earlier, do limit the load on this adapter to 2.5 Amps or less (preferably less). The unit does have the 2.5A maximum warning label on the unit and on the box.
Not recommended,
by BG, 2010-02-14
My car has a vertical lighter socket. It works ok when using one outlet. But everytime I use both the outlets, the nozzle loosens out slowly with road bumps in my volvo s40 and I end up readjusting it fair number of times. Will not recommend to anyone...may work with another car. I donot know what will work the best but definitely not this.
Does what it is supposed to do.,
by Jon K., 2010-02-01
I needed something that would allow me to charge my iPod and cell phone simultaneously, while fitting into the slightly recessed power outlet in my '99 Honda Civic. This item does what it claims, in a reasonable form factor. My only complaint is that it has come loose on occasion, but that seems hard to avoid completely.
Cheap junk,
by Tom Johnson, 2010-01-20
Simply put, the title says it all. This is cheap junk that, in the wrong situation, could be dangerous. I've added a photo of what happened to one of two units that I bought for use in one of our cars (the other was a "just in case" unit, but will go straight into the trash now.) The jack melted in the accessory plug under no strain with only one jack in one of the two inputs - an XM jack. There was no unusual demand on the unit, the XM was not on, in fact, but it blew fuse after fuse. I'm glad I put this on a standard accessory jack and not something jerry-rigged like many do to get an extra jack in their cars, one that might not have been on a fused line at all. Buyer beware - this may not be a safe piece of equipment at all.
