My husband has it in his Semi as a back-up for microwave. He has no problem with it, but I am not sure what amps are used for his cig lighter. We have used it in the pickup with no issue. I would check your fuses in the SUV and see whether the lighter uses a 15 amp or 20....

It is not normal that the unit blew the cigarette lighter so I would recommend contacting the manufacturer for an exchange.

I use it on my son in laws Chevy truck when we go fishing and have not electrical problems at all.

I don't think so because it only has a ability to plug it into your cig lighter in your car

Yes, it does blow the fuses of ordinary cars, but you can simply change those car fuses to higher rating 20-30A. Same goes for those cig socket splitter, just replace its fuse.

Please don't try using this inverter with a cigarette adapter as it's power level will probably exceed the amperage limit of the fuse for the cigarette lighter. You may even damage the wiring in your vehicle doing so.

If you don't know anything about electronics, maybe this isn't for you. You can cause problems for your car if you do it wrong. What I did was to find the wires to the cigarette lighter and connected the red wire to it and ground the black wire.

I don't know about cigarette lighter plugs, but it works fine with all my 12v power plugs in my trailer. I use mostly to plug in a 12v fan.

No it wont help, you probably have a chevy truck and are talking about the heater blower... this part wont help

I put mine in my 2010 charger and it started smoking when connecting the +1 amperage red wire... So I would be careful with this product! I did not install it.

It will,but you want more juice with the 4 gauge instead.. careful with bridging it with the 8 gauge it will melt it down, melt down means fire in your trunk after your positive and ground touches.. good luck my man.

If your lighter plug turns on and off with the ignition switch and you leave the power to the unit in the on position then yes.

Haven't tried it. The charger is only 1 amp so I doubt it. It does plug into the cars ciG lighter.

Could this filter be used in a car by plugging it into an adapter then adapter into cigarette lighter or could it blow/burn something up?

Yes, but this units operates right at the limits of the average / fuse system. It blows fuses almost every time I use. it. I highly recommend NOT using it with your cigaret lighter. Connect it directly to your battery terminals, and even then get LOTS of spare / replacement fuses for your glovebox. It's a great unit, just power hungry.

When I use the included lighter adapter, mine starts recording as soon as I start the car (the car's lighter socket is switched).

As stated by the other responders, this pulls too many amps to us the tiny wires on a lighter plug-in. This must be wired with #2 or larger welding cable. This should be done by someone who understands the relationship of load and distance from the battery. Try a welding shop or battery shop.

It blew a fuse in my car at an end on inflating a first tire. I was adding 7psi. this was 30A fuse (2 sockets on this circuit). I returned it because of this event. I didn't want to experiment whether it was a single event or failure of this one inflator, or typical over-current.

Not long at all. If your car's lighter works with the ignition off, then no. If it requires the ignition to be on then yes.
