    Default Cigerette Lighter to USB??

    I cant remember where I got this idea, but does anyone know about this? I seem to remember someone converted all their cigerette plugs to usb connectors. Sounds straight foward. Is it really that easy. Just cut and wire on the usb connectors? Sounds too easy. Anyone have a link to the writeup so I can see if Im missing somthing.

    NO!!!

    usb is 5v, your vehicle is ~14v

    but there are several adapters on the market

    there's the opposite, too for some reason.

    Look for a PSP vehicle kit. You can usually get the Cig-USB port for less than $5 at Wal-Mart

    You can read all the stories and watch all the videos you want, but there's no substitute for just getting out there and doing it.
