Does this work well in a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse? The cigarette lighter socket in the car is kind of tucked away.

Depends how tucked away the lighter is. The goose neck has to extend out and not be in the way of the shifter. If you have about three inches of clearance in front of the lighter port it should work. But as I said in my review, I only got about 6 months of use before the audio cord frayed and started to crackle

I don't know. I have a 2007 Ford Edge. My cigarette lighter is tucked away also. I just get too much static....have to turn volume all the way up. When I end a call the stereo is blasting.

I don't recommend this at all. It broke soon after I bought it and it also broke my lighter socket so nothing works in it right now.

Our car (2007 Honda Civic EX) that it is used in doesn't have a "cigarette lighter", it has two 12v outlets...which appear to be the same socket diameter and configuration to the cigarette lighter sockets from the 70's and 80's..??Anyways, works great in our car. Good luck.

Yes. It works in the lighter, as well as the power ports on newer vehicles.

Ok so most modern cars only supply power to the cigarette plugs and radio when the ignition is turned halfway to accessory mode. To answer your question, on my Toyota it will not drain unless the key is turned to accessory. There is an indicator light that will also let you know when it is receiving power. My dads old ford would supply power without the key in. So double check with the blue light. And u can always plug it in halfway so it doesn't draw power

Do you have one of the cars that require the key/engine on to power the cigarette lighter? Check and reset your auto fuse/breaker. If not tripped then bad contact/wire break somewhere. After that I have no suggestions.

if you have a cigarette lighter then it will work.....but you need to ask the person that is selling it....it didn't work for me more than 5 months...the power cord stopped working.

I put it in my Mitsubishi Lancer. It didn't fit exactly, but after you put the lid on, you won't notice it at all. It still works fine. I recommend this product, it still has lasted me for more than 6 months.

I'm not sure Kim. I have a truck that has 2 extra plug in's beside the cigarette lighter. Worked the first time I used it. Haven't used it to often, wanted it there just in case. I would suggest you get a hold of Amazon or the company that makes it, and ask for a replacement.

You should ask the seller, I have 2 of them & they work very well in my house, warm up bathroom, etc, but they have regular plugs, not the kind of plugs that go into a car lighter. However I imagine the plugs could be changed if you know how to do that, ask seller or manufacturer.

I'm not sure what you mean. If you're asking if it will still work without the car being either on or on accessory, every car I've ever been in does maintain power to the cigarette outlet even when the car is completely off. If that doesn't work, just turn your car on accessory and it will work fine. You just turn the switch on the invertor on. I'd recommend turning the interior lights off in your car while doing this or run the cord through the window to prevent running the battery dead. If you do that, you won't have a problem with your battery going dead, not even close.

Use on the connection for the car which should be plugged into the cigarette lighter.then place the unit by the windshield. pls note ensure that you unplug the unit each time you turn on the engine and plug it when the engine is not on.it works perfect on my car

What I found was that the power connector (cigarette lighter adapter) needed to be spliced into the power connector before it would work. The wiring diagram leaves a lot to be desired.

I try tu put in my Toyota Highlander 2003 ( same socket ) but everytime I installed it dropped...something its wrong with the bulb...and the socket

It should hook up right to your cigarette lighter (if your cigarette lighter is fully functioning), no adaptor needed....But I had issues with mine (it broke on first use) and had to return it. If it's not working for your car, I would return it.

Sorry, I don't know. I used mine in 2000 Ford Explorer. I did have to file it a bit to get it to fit in the socket. - John

On top of the shifter it says in bold red letters, TRD. I bought it for my Toyota Tacoma, so I'm not sure if it will fit on your Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Yes, I got a lighter socket from Radio Shack and wired it directly to the car battery. Just takes a small hole through the firewall to the engine compartment to run the wire. Then mountit under your dash. Works Great. Make sure to buy the large enough panel! (next size up from this one.
