Interior Accessories - car power, adapter
The side contact on the plug end is a bad design. It bends in and looses contact regularly. I am now buying this products replacement and throwing it away. Find one with a dual sided plug or with a spring behind the contact. This just bends in. Custom Accessories CU070051 12V Twin Plug in Accessory Sockets
I already own a different two-port device and needed another one. This works very well. The short cords add some flexibility to a crowded dash area. If your 12v outlet is near the floor or console, this is a great choice. If your outlet is higher up, say mid-dash, you may want to consider a product without the short cords.
I required a dual-adaptor for my car after acquiring a GPS system over Christmas, in addition to my iPod and in-car phone charger. This tool is invaluable; the short cords provide just enough reach, and the plug fit perfectly into my cigarette lighter. Great item!
Not much that I can say about this unit, it's pretty simple and it seems to work fine. The cable is *just* short enough so that you can't plug it into itself.
Our use wasn't so much for the one-to-two expansion (although that's very useful), but used for protection. We've a couple accessory devices for the car that have very long plugs (with circuitry inside) that extend significantly out of the socket. In our case that exposes it to being hit with a knee and because of the long cantilever it's subject to being damaged. Using this spliter device has the long devices plugged in hanging vertically below the socket, and out of the way of a flying knee. And not cantilevered subject to damage. Works perfectly for this purpose. I ordered a second one after getting the first.
The product I received is slightly different than that shown in Amazon's product photo. Simple and effective power port solution. Has indicator LED on plug. Nice product for the price. Would recommend. - Car Power - Car Adapter - Dual Car Adapter - Adapter'
