Will this work for foreign cars which have a little bit bigger cigarette socket than US cars? The Amazonbasics cigarette socket says: Adjustable screw to fit all types of European, American &amp; Japanese cars. Wondering if this has that feature?

There is a nut that, when you tighten it, a sleeve moves down and flares out the metal contacts. You can see the nut in the picture. I didnt realize that was its purpose. Why do europeans need bigger cigarette lighters? Are they lighting 5 cigs at once? Not knowing how much bigger a european cars lighter is, i can't say if it expands enough. I had to tighten the nut a little to keep it in place in my ford and my dodge. Even tightened up, it still walks itself out once in a while.

Yes, a nice one. It comes ready to use when traveling, it has 12v cigarette-lighter type plug to use in typical automotive 12v power outlet. It also accommodates 120/240 volt and 50/60 Hz so it works in Europe and Africa, etc. Works anywhere!

It fits my American plugs, but the voltage wasn't enough to sustain the device. I'm not sure if it would work for European, sorry hope this helps.

I have 2 of them. Both work good. No issues so far. If it plugs in to a cigarette plug socket it will plug in to this. So I don't see what not.

If you mean the port that you plug electrical things into, then yes. Just don't plug it into the cigarette port. I hope this helps considering I can't determine exactly what a "car charger port thing" is and what you're looking at.

It will not work unless you modify it by grinding down the side of it where the 3 notches are. Reason; it rubs against the engine block and won't go on. You will need a bench grinder or a vise and a hand grinder. Another option is to buy a strap wrench with a rubber strap. Once you modify this socket it will work fine.

I used a travel adapter that covers all countries. Check out your local hardware shop. Asked for one that covers Japan or worldwide. They will know what to get you.

Its just a telephone cord that plugs into tge supplied cigarette adapter. If you want to tap into your car's power it depends on your car. A new feature from v1 is a speed mute that mutes audio below a set speed. For that you will need to run a cable from the driver's footwell to your v1 which should be mounted by your rearview mirror. There were companies out there that supplied custom wite kits for custom installs. Whatever you do, buy direct from v1. Sometimes they have recons that are cheaper.

I've had no luck getting it to fit in my double din adapter, I bought two different ones. Heard this from a couple of people. Over all i was unhappy with its performance as well. Not sure about Europe maps.

If you have the cigarette lighter charger with the standard socket plug(home style socket) in.... you can use this charger. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ATXEPQI/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?qid=1395362946&sr;=8-9π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70

This fits any E27 Edison screw in socket - the issue is Space and size since the part that screws into the socket adds about 2 inches height and circumcise of about inch to two inches. So if you have a small fixture - you might have issues.

Sorry can't help you. I use mine on my Boxster. I do use the lighter socket as the charge port with no problem and pass the cord through a slight opening of the passener side window while parked in the garage. As I have it set up, the Battery Tender functioned flawlesslyl I did have to change out the original Porsche lighter socket since Porsche, back when I purchased my car, did not use the standared sized lighter socket.

I have a 2005 Hyundai, and have the same problem. It's only because the outlets in older cars were meant for cigaret lighters, not for devices. Newer cars have deeper receptacles especially for charging devices, and can handle the longer plugs. This was not a deal breaker for me because I rent cars when I travel.

I recently purchased this mount. It uses a standard micro USB cord. The package comes with a 12v adapter to go into any normal cigarette lighter/power port in your car. You could certainly use your own USB cord, but one is provided in the package.

No. It is simply an adapter so that a US - style plug may fit into a European socket.
