Does.. Is just a little hard to get in an out.. I guess is because it has to anchor itself and the phone weight

No, the unit draws power from the cigarette outlet. If unplugged it won't do much of anything.

Nope not that I noticed. Only the cigarette lighter part lights up when it's getting power. I leave mine plugged into rear truck port all the time when not in use

It might. However, cig lighters seem to output low power levels and may take longer to charge battery vs plugging it into a wall outlet. I would be concerned that u may short the cig lighter with demand of battery.

I believe you can charge this through the cig. lighter as long as your vehicle is running, otherwise you wld charge through 110 wall socket.

no it does not plug into the cigarette lighter . I have mine hooked up direct from the battery .. that way the ignition does not have to be on while I am using it when I am not driving

No, it doesnt come with an adapter, but it can be wired into your lighter if you are handy. I guess if you have transmitter/receiver you can make it wireless too, but i beleive it meant to be used with wired sustem...

Yes. But you will have wires running from camera through the car to the cig lighter

It doesn't have a cigarette lighter plug on it. But I have a 100w cigarette plugin inverter that I used and plugged the 120v plug from the radio into that so the radio would charge up. It charges when the radio is only in the off position FYI.

No, this is an FM transmitter. It works through your radio. You do need to have a cigarette lighter spot to provide power to the unit.

Yes, the wire connects to both the lighter and the little thing that connects to the ipod or phone of whatever. The thing that is wireless though, is that you don't have to have it plugged in to the lighter for it to work. That just charges it at the same time

It has a tiny LED draw even in a constant-on cig plug. I left mine plugged in when I went on vacation for three weeks and it had no functional effect on the battery charge in my Mustang.

Yes, connect to a cig lighter outlet that doesn't stay on after the engine is shut off and the unit shuts off on it's own. Comes back live when engine/car is turned on.

It depends on your car and how the cig. socket works! Most cars, the cig. socket switches off when your car is off. You can test it out pretty easily, just plug in a gps or another electric item into the cig. socket. Turn off your car and see if the GPS turns off or says there is no power.
