Title: Extra sockets
Post by: Anonymous on September 23, 2011, 14:18
When I go away on long journeys I often have my sat-nav plugged in to the ciggie lighter socket and more often then not need to keep the battery charged up on my humungs Dell Streak.

I used to have a double plug hanging loose in Slapa and was going to do the same until I thought about the ash tray.


So.................(http://i681.photobucket.com/albums/vv175/giddlepin/Slapa%202/DSC09376.jpg)  

Folds out the way when not needed    s:D :D s:D  

I must admit it took a bit of fabricating and the ashtray is not fit for purpose any more but that won't bother me   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Neat job Les. Where did you acquire bits? Did you jump off the cig wires?

Wonder why they didnt build in satnav? Ive got a similar no name chinese unit which has igo8 built in. Got digi TV/blutoof/card/cd/in one. Shame its eject motor died after 3 months. The rest still works though. What can you expect for £275?
