will this work as a cigarette lighter? If I use a "push in" type lighter, will it pop out automatically when heated to the correct temp to light a cig

Yes, I'd install it without the plastic cover, and you'd have to find the right plug, iyou might be better off finding complete lighter, to ensure a proper fit between both components

I haven't tried that, I bought one from an auto parts store to replace mine... Sorry, not a lot if help there.

I believe it has nothing to do with the socket. The popup lighter should work once it reaches temperature.

Honestly, I do not know, as my car shuts all the accessories used in the cig lighter receptacle when I turn the key off. But I have been driving for more than 2 hours and it never shuts off. I think you are asking if it shuts off while in use? correct? if that is the case, then the answer is no, it stays on til you turn it off.

This only plugs in to an auxiliary jack on both ends of the cable (i.e. Aux jack on stereo and headphone jack on cellphone/ipod). So no, it doesn't plug into a cigarette lighter. Maybe you're looking for a car charger...?

You could use a car cigarette lighter if you have a converter to turn it into alternating current instead of direct current that the car lighter offers.

be sure the cig lighter works with key off. must be in direct light. did you ever start car with it still plugged?

It works great. Once the coil is lit the flame itself gets blown out, and the smoke distributes itself evenly. I do use mine in the terra cotta holder with the lid most of the time, but have used it with just the coil and metal stand and the smoke stays localized.

Yes. Plugs into a cig. lighter socket. On/off button. If the socket powers up only when ignition is on, the unit will turn on and off with the ignition.

It does go into the cigarette lighter. But save you money- the thing does not work at all. Just another piece of worthless landfill waste.

Sure is, several ways you can do this basically i'd grab one of these http://goo.gl/s3luSY with this u can use cigarette lighter plug .. or cut the cig lighter plug part off, shore the wires and use either alligator clips or an extended piece of wire if necessary and connect directly to your battery just dont get the + and - wrong. Hope this helps somewhat. - Steve

I did not keep this unit but returned it. I do not think it a good idea to charge it using a cigarette lighter. It might be very dangerous. Check with professionals in this matter.

Maybe you could using a 110V converter that plugs into the cigarette lighter socket. I would check with the manufacture!

Most, but not all, vehicles have the cigarette lighter wired to the battery circuit so that they're "on" no matter if the car is or not. This is the "Batt" connection in your fusebox. If it's wired to the Accessory circuit, then the circuit will only be available when the car is running or the key turned to Accessory. This is the "Acc" connection in your fusebox. It's simple enough to tell before buying this solar panel, just push the lighter in when the car is off and the key out of the ignition. If the lighter gets hot then this will work for you. If not then you'll need to do something else, wire a plug into the fusebox, clip this right on the battery, something else. This comes with both the cigarette plug and alligator clips. Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, this won't "pop" out and shut itself off like a cigarette lighter does. That's done by heat in the lighter, not a timer or anything like that.

I wound up throwing mine out. The plug for the lighter was not reliable. It was a separate piece that you plug the USB plug into. The USB plug worked fine.I don't believe I used any adhesive to stick to the front glass. The suction was more than enough. Push into glass, flip lever down to hold suction. I did not use on the dashboard.

Mine does without a problem. Location of lighter could make a difference, but it appears that the design allows for use in most locations. Worth a try.

This is like an oven, you need car's electricity to use. Just plug in your car's cigarette plug and it does all the work for you. You should have one if you spend alot of time on the road.

Hi Malcolm, as far as I know this device does need a cigarette lighter connection. I believe that's the only way it will work. I hope this helps. :-)

It depends on if your cigarette lighter goes off when the igniton goes off. Or you can find a YouTube video that shows you how to wire it up to the fuse box inside your car.
