5.0 out of 5 stars Works great, June 12, 2007

By	Pearson Wung (United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this adapter so I could plug in a GPS unit and an FM transmitter for my iPod into the car's cigarette lighter socket at the same time. It works great.

From looking at the product image before I bought the adapter, I wasn't sure if it was the right adapter because the dual sockets looked a little strange in the picture. However, what you're seeing in the image are the spring-loaded safety covers. When you plug in your device, the safety cover gets pushed into the socket.

The adapter can swivel 90 degrees, which is a nice feature when you're trying to get the wires from your devices out of your way and not wrapped around the car's gear stick.

I use this to connect my radar detector and my ipod at the same time and it works great. It is exactly what I was looking for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great., October 16, 2007

By	J. Donaldson "Cal-diver" (Camarillo, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This thing fits very snug in the power socket, I had to push harder than I had expected to get it to seat all the way into the socket. The advantage of this tight fit is it does not come loose, and when pulling other connectors out of the dual socket side this adapter doesn't pull out with it. I like the idea that it can be repositioned, and you must push a button to swivel it to a new position where it locks in place.

The DC socket in our car is high enough on the dash board that this Maxell is very convenient. In our second car the socket is very close to the floor so this wouldn't be as easy to use so in that car I have an adapter with a 15" cord; you may want to consider this situation for your own car.
