What type of power sourced is used? Do they need to be connected to the cig lighter or does jt get its juice from the head unit?

It gets it's power directly from the head unit. As long as your head unit supports video you will be fine. It's universal so it will automatically work.

Head unit power source as these things go right in the head rest and should be professionally wired

Gail, the cig lighter function is for maintaining a battery on another vehicle. I doubt you could charge a battery on a vehicle you're trying to charge. I'm using mine to keep my motorcycle battery charged but I do have the charger plugged into an electrical outlet...Not into the cig lighter...Hope this helps.

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

the wiring comes out of the bottom of the cup and should run through a hole that you make in the existing cup holder and run to either something that is lit when the headlights come on like the shifter display wiring or you can run it to a toggle switch you install and the hot wire to the cig lighter

Physically connect yes. Logically no. Concern would be the fuse amperage overload (in series) and if your ciggy lighter is always closed so your battery receives a charge when ignition is turned off. It looks good physically but logics meant it likely won't work out a DA boxette.

You will have to get an inverter to charge from a car. Auto Zone has them, I bought one that sits in a cup holder and plugs into your cig lighter works great.

Yes, the included cigarette power adapter will power the unit by simply plugging into your vehicles cigarette lighter socket.

You don't want to plug it into the cigarette outlet, it draws too much power for that and you'll blow fuses or fry the wiring. You'll want to hook it up directly to the battery.

The cigaret lighter is to power the charger. Don't buy it. I got to use it once. The battery dies with in 5 minutes after a full charge

It turns off when the ignition is off but if your cig lighter is constant power then just in plug it from the cig lighter

yes you can. the cig lighter plug could be used for power as long as the source can provide at least 15 amps of power. make sure you use a fuse in the power circuit. A magnetic mount for the antenna will help with portability.

Uses standard USB and plugs into the side of the power adapter (cig lighter portion)

Your car has to be able to charge the battery that way so i'd check your owners manual just to be safe if you havent already. but we had a Toyota Prius and the ignition battery died so bought this and a quick jump kit. we jumped it from the cig lighter anytime the car wouldn't start. we never left it plugged in longer than to start the car.hope this helps!

This vacuum needs to be plugged into a cigarette lighter or a 12 volt accessory plug ,most cars have a spot to install a cig. lighter if they don't already have one

I bought mine as a whole kit and the cord plugs right into the cig lighter , likr your phone charger would, hope this helps

With the device you are using on AUX, do you also have it plugged into your cig lighter for charging? If you disconnect it from the charger, does it go away? If so you have a ground loop problem.

Mine runs off of 120 volts AC power adapter. The output from the adapter is 12 volts DC at 2.1 amps. You may be able to purchase an adapter that plugs into cigarette lights from your car from the manufacturer. Personally I would not attempt to make my own as these units cost too much to experiment with.
