Worked As Advertised,
by C. Rohlsen, 2009-12-24

Drove my 2003 Corolla to Florida using the adapter. Even though the Corolla has two outlets, the one in the center console can be difficult to use, if you keep stuff in there, like I do. I had my GPS unit and detector plugged in. Not one hiccup, no overheating, a smooth ride.

 

looks slightly different but works great,
by Raymond K. Martin, 2010-08-10

Problem with cars made before 2008 is they only have one charger. At any given time I have three electronic devices that need charging, Ipod Skydock (to turn my ipod touch into sirius xm receiver), Garmin GPS. and sometimes need to charge that phone (of course everything bought on amazon except the car).

I bought one of the these and its great. It has bulging rubber grips on the male piece which take a little work shoving it into place, but it stays in there snug. So snug it holds up the Skydock tilted at an angle.

It looks a little different though, the pics show two kinda independent female holes, the unit actually is formed so the space in between holes is filled in so there are no humps.

Does what I wanted at a good price.

 

Important Note,
by J. Lobrillo, 2009-10-03

I got this item for a long road trip and it performed perfectly until...

I plugged in my GPS and a portable DVD player. It shortly blew. When I say it blew I mean it got hot enough to melt the plastic inside the main male plug as well as the springs inside that hold the fuse was turned into a pool of melted metal. It was completely destroyed. Not to mention the smell of burning plastic lingering in the cabin of the car.

The lesson is that this unit can only handle a maximum load of 2.5 amps TOTAL. Before you buy check and make sure that the devices you are plugging into it do not exceed this rating. For me its the GPS thats the problem in drawing 2.1 amps by itself. I was ok at first because I was using it first with my GPS and the Scosche USB charger accessory which only draws .5 amps.

Overall I was satisfied with this product. I only wish they would have noted its maximum load rating in the product specs.

 

Works as advertised on a 2006 Ford Focus,
by C. Potvin, 2009-07-14

I got this one after my previous (and cheaper) one has blown the fuse of my car lighter. I needed 2 connections so I could keep my GPS and a charger (either iphone or my car bluetooth) connected.

The item works as advertised. The item I received do not match the picture, which result in me lowering the rating. I did prefer the look of the one showed here, but since it works just the same, I decided to keep it.

 

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.
