3.0 out of 5 stars It works well, but could be a bit better, November 15, 2009

This review is from: Gilsson Universal 3-Way Car Cigarette Lighter Socket Splitter with USB Power Port for iPod Blackberry Smartphone GPS (Electronics)
I'm using this to power my Sirius Radio, Garmin GPS and I use the USB for charging my mp3 player or BlueTooth headset. The unit works well and seems to be of pretty good quality. But, the sockets are might not be deep enough for a good solid connection on all devices. While it works well for my Sirius plug, my Garmin GPS plug is longer and the metal sides don't have enough "wall" for a solid connection. So sometimes if I hit a big bump in the road that adapter will pop out of the socket.

Also, the adapter only works in one position in my Ford Fusion as the cigarette lighter is in a tight position inside the ashtray.

All-in-all it works well though.

Worked as described and I appreciate having the USB interface also! This item's been in permanent use in my car since it arrived:
- GPS in first socket,
- Vehicle video camera in second socket; and
- iPhone frequently plugged in the USB interface (using its own cable).

Tried buying a separate iPhone charger but it was rubbish and is not being used; don't waste your money and buy this instead!

Some reviewers commented on accessory plugs slipping out; I haven't had that problem but mostly drive on good city roads with minimal vibration.

Good product and I'm happy with it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Mysterious gizmo, October 14, 2010
This review is from: Gilsson Universal 3-Way Car Cigarette Lighter Socket Splitter with USB Power Port for iPod Blackberry Smartphone GPS (Electronics)
I bought this device since it was the only lighter power to USB power adapter at the store I went to. It works fine for that purpose as far as I can tell, but the device came with no instructions.

Q: What is the function of the two small black sliders on the shaft of the plug? A: The sliders adjust the tension on the paddles that contact the sleeve (- terminal) of the lighter socket.

Q: The device is fused, but how is the fuse replaced? A: Screw off the tip of the plug, and the fuse is inside.

The only remaining question is what is the function of the sharp knife blade-like lever on the shaft of the plug that is secured with the split ring?




Weird extra gizmotry with no instructions.
