Default Power Supply in 98 C182S

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.

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

Dan,
You're right, the late '90's Cessna singles did not have cigarette
lighter jacks installed. There is plenty of room on the panel to
install one (or better yet, two), just like the older models. I've seen
this done on several aircraft.

Happy Flying!

You can have your mechanic install a cig lighter up under the panel
where you can't see it so you can keep the cord clutter to a minimum.

Except he doesn't have a plug ... or at least he can't find one.

Doesn't it have one of those weird 4 pin ARINC plugs that you need an
adapter for (a-la http://tinyurl.com/2erxr6 ) in the center pedestal?

I would think that it should, and if it does, the adapter for cigarette
plugs will be a lot cheaper than having one installed.

SPORTY'S sells the 12V adaptor that fits the four-pin receptacle.

Well, I didn't see that, but I was looking on the right side, mainly.
I'll have to check on the center panel. Does anyone know definatively
if late 90s 182s have this connector? I suppose I can look in the
manual... We haven't finalized purchase of the aircraft yet, but
having flown Pipers for about 95% of my flight time to date, the
downward visibility and shade offered by the high wing were definate
pluses.

I thought I wasn't going to like high wing, but it's not that bad
actually...

OK, anyone know where I can find an online manual for a 98 182S? : )
