I have a BMW bike and this works great to top off my battery via the BMW socket (canbus). Can I use it on a car via cigaret lighter?

No. The canbus is not the same size as a car lighter and will not work in the vehicle.

It gets hot easily so I wouldn't recommend it. Get a blow torch. This is a torch lighter for cigarettes.

You can keep it in the cigar lighter but not for more than 4 hours. It will use your car battery.

Hello, Yes you are able to run it where ever power is. If you do, you might need to look at if your lighter is continuous power or does it shut after you shut the car down. but either way Answer is yes.

It's designed to be used with portable jump starting devices that usually have a cigarette lighter port on them. I've also used mine with a cigarette lighter to battery adapter like this one - http://www.amazon.com/Roadpro-Battery-Clip-On-Cigarette-Lighter/dp/B00065L2D8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383415417&sr=8-1&keywords=battery+cigarette+lighter+adapter - I've used it with either a motorcycle or car battery sitting on the floor of the car. If you use the battery sitting on the floor of the car method, be sure to triple check the polarity before plugging the cable into the OBD port in the car.

Cigarette lighters require a special socket; of this device's four sockets, one is compatible with pop-when-hot cigar lighters. Just as with most contemporary cars, this device does not come with a cigar lighter.

Cigarette lighter or adapter socket works. Return it , it didn't last long anyway

To use this plug you need to conect first direct on batery of the car. So you can use as actual lighter

I would say yes if it has a cigarette plus. This has a fuse so if it does not work the fuse will blow first!

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.

The CB has two wires built in so all you would need is a cigarette lighter socket adapter and wire it up. The wires are about 4' long so you should have no problems where you mount it. The wiring is very easy - that's the set up I have so I can unplug and remove the CB when I'm just driving around locally.

Hi. You need 12V power outlet . Plug item in the cigaret power outlet (12V) of the car. Then item work. Thank you

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.

I am not sure exactly how this unit works, but if you are referring to enough power I would say yes. If you can get lighter to pull out or can access the wires behind it you can use a splice in connector.

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.

no, plugs into your lighter port. unless your lighter port does not stay on if your is not running.

I believe the answer is yes, but only if the cigarette lighter socket is hot when the ignition key is turned off. Some cars the lighter socket is "on" when the key is not in the ignition, some cars the lighter socket turns off with the ignition switch. I happen to have one car of each style.......
