Will this plug into my Mazda Protege lighter (which sits just in front of the cupholder) and still have this sit in the cupholder? Is there room?

If you can plug something into the lighter socket and put a can of soda (or manybe something taller) in the cup holder, it should work.

I have a 97 tercel thought the same thing at first, for my lighter it was just a tight fit worked. but worked when I put in.

You cigarette lighter socket/Aux. Socket is likely fused with a 10, 15, 20 amp fuse. An attempt to put anything in that slot and draw meaningful power from it would instantly blow that cigarette lighter socket fuse. So no.

First locate a device like a cig lighter, aux power plug that only works with the engine running. You may need to find a car specific forum to confirm this. Black to chassis and red to positive power lead on the device.

I tried my lighter, but I guess it was too short.Not sure if it would melt, but the USB car charger I plug into it works fine.

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.

Have you tried it in a different car? Older German power sockets (cig lighters) are not 100% compatible due to their inside diameter being too large for modern plugs. I have never had a problem with my Roady.

I put it on a mazda 3-2005, but you have to check the connector behind the player, this is made for not to do anything else just plug it

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.

My car is a 2005 Ford explorer, but the first time I tried to fit it into my car charger it did not fit, but I squeezed the two sliver things on the side and it went in. No problems after 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.

Not sure but mine is fairly far out from the back door. I use it on a CX-7 Mazda.

The dimension details are 9.1 x 5.2 x 2 inches. I guess you would need to do some measuring. I use it on a Minivan and Mid-size car where the plug is below the dash - no problems. Good luck. Maybe you can get an cigarette lighter extension plug?

Yes it will. However, if I had to do it all over again I would just get one of the addapters that plug into the cig lighter. that runs it through the radio. I have not been that happy with it.
