Power Supply in 98 C182S
My 296 says it operates on 11-35 volts. So plug it in, you're good to go.

All,
Our club is in the final stages of purchasing a 1998 Cessna 182S.
Much to my dismay, I noticed the lack of a 12-volt cigarette lighter
(or it's 24-volt equivalent) anywhere to be found. (am I just not
looking in the right place?)
What are the options here? How difficult and/or expensive would it be
to have one of these installed? The avionics are relatively new, but I
prefer to use my Garmin 396 for weather, XM, etc. and would really
like to have a place to plug it in.
We'll probably have the plane in the shop soon for a Garmin 430
installation.
Between this issue and the annoying chart clip holder on the yoke, it
sure isn't very compatible with portable GPS equipment.
