But will North American Adaptors work in Australian cars? There are 12 volt DC power outlets in most cars - the old cigarette socket. Some cars (Mercedes and I think BMW) have their own smaller outlets for some reason and you need an adaptor to go up to the normal size. Have a look at dick smith electronics website for pics, etc. |

Nearly all new cars HAVE the socket, but with no cigarette lighter fitted!!
It is often placed in the centre seat console somewhere. It's called a power jack! "Jack" wrote in message ... "Karen and Ken" wrote in message ups.com...
