Cigarette Lighter Adapter- Cessna 172
I attempted to plug in my portable GPS unit into a 2003 172 and ... I
couldn't. The "standard" cigarette adapter has been replaced with a smaller something. I didn't have time to look too closely as to what the new outlet is. The GPS was just a backup and I was just going locally . Question. Anyone come accross this ? Do you know what adapter I would need to continue to use the "old" cigarette size plug ? Who sells them ? Thanks in advance. |

... I attempted to plug in my portable GPS unit into a 2003 172 and ... I couldn't. The "standard" cigarette adapter has been replaced with a smaller something. I noticed a difference in the size of the accessory plugs of US cars vs a Porsche that I used to have... The DC air pump from it was not interchangeable with the accessory plug from my other cars... Question. Anyone come accross this ? Do you know what adapter I would need to continue to use the "old" cigarette size plug ? Who sells them ? You might find a cheaper solution by going up to AutoZone and just buying the normal size socket... It's pretty easy to replace it once you get the covers off... |

I think http://shop.store.yahoo.com/laptopsf...rpowadcor.html would work, but don't own it. The 'enlarged' picture isn't large enough to see the connectors, however the diagram they have on the 'more info' link looks like it's the same ARINC connector, and they have a 30 day money-back thing going, so pretty risk free for $10. Luck. |
