'90 cigarette lighter

Green Machine

NAXJA Forum User
Hello everyone,

i've searched the forums and havent seen anyone write about converting the cigarette lighter to a usb plug in.

im looking to get this done, and was wondering if anyone here has a reference point for me to use while doing it.

thanks
 
Modified tech might be a better match.

This is how I have approached that situation:

I expect Boot13 could print you up a panel with just a single hole in the center to fit a USB port. I expect that would save you from having to drill into the AC duct.
 
How many devices are you looking to plug in?

I bought a 2 port adapter that works fine for my phone and Garmin GPS. It works fine and I get to keep the lighter port for a trouble light and small portable compressor.
 
I would just get a low-profile USB plug. I have a 2.1A one with an on/off switch works great.

Otherwise, amazon has lots of options.
