When I bought my car the Cig. lighter didn't come with it. I would like to have one for my car so it looks good. Also, I have noticed that when I plug something into it that it tends to move around so it doesn't stay in there well. Such as plugging in a radar detector it will go on and off when you move the wire, so it seems like it isn't making a good connection.

 

Euro lighter sockets are slightly larger than US or Asian sockets. I have had several plug in devices that came with a little sleeve to slide over the plug to make the plug fit better when used in a european car. Most devices now use side contacts that expand far enough to work in either type but some older style plugs were pretty sloppy and didn't stay in very well.

 

I think i have an extra cig. lighter. if you still need it i'll check if i still have it, i'll be back home on the 1st of march, and i'll seend it to you

I also had problems with my radar detector not sticking in the socket well -- it was very annoying since it would beep everytime it went on/off.

My solution was to take an old cigarette lighter adapter that lets you plug two devices into one lighter, and ripped out the two sockets from it -- providing me with two adapter sleeves. Works well for me.
