Hi, I recently bought a 2010 Audi A5 Sportback and use an FM transmitter that plugs into the cigarette lighter. The problem is, the cigarette lighter only gets power when the engine is running, and it's always annoying when you're just sitting in the car with a few friends and want to listen to music,…
Hello, dear community, Everything had been running smoothly. Only the interior light's casing had come loose. Since it was now dangling around the interior, I decided to buy a new interior light at the Porsche Center (without the bulb, just the plastic casing). I installed everything, turned on the light, and the bulb immediately burned…
Hello, I have a Skoda Octavia iV (2023) and (as far as I know…) only have a 12V power connection in the rear of the trunk. However, I would like to retrofit a dashcam and a fast-charging power pack/adapter. However, I would also prefer not to have the option of connecting a cooler in the…
Hello everyone, I want to be able to work with my laptop in my car while on the go. I had already purchased and tested three different power adapters on Amazon. The power adapters were fine. I measured the plug with an ammeter, and there was voltage. The indicator light on the power adapter also…
Hi guys. About a year ago, a friend and I installed a subwoofer in my Polo GTI 6C and took the signal from the cigarette lighter. We cut the cable for it, but he soldered it all back on. Now I've noticed that the cigarette lighter, although it lights up nicely, doesn't supply any power….

Are there any options, such as an adapter for…
Hello, on my 2005 Skoda Octavia 1u5, the glove compartment lights and instrument lights aren't working, and there's no power to the cigarette lighter. I've changed the rotary switch for the lights, but everything remains the same. When the light switch is in the first position, it lights up, but as soon as you turn…
Hi, how does it work if I charge my phone from the car battery? Doesn't the battery eventually run out? So, of course, should I only charge my phone while the car is being moved, in the city and occasionally on the motorway? I have a cigarette lighter, I'll have to check if it works….
Hello, I'll be renting a car (compact station wagon, Peugeot 308 or similar, diesel/gasoline unknown, definitely not an electric car). I assume it will have a fairly new battery. I want to connect a small freezer to it overnight (which operates according to the Peltier effect, meaning it's just a fan). It consumes 48 watts…
