How timely that this would come up. I have a portable CD player with a
"car adaptor kit" which includes a cigarette lighter adaptor to save on
batteries.
Since my original lighter had long since gone to it's reward, I replaced it
with
a universal aftermarket one. Problem is that I'm still not getting a good
contact
and power cuts in and out, although the freakin' thing works perfectly in my
wife's (real) car.
Yeah, I could troubleshoot it some more, but I was wondering if I could
just cut the lighter adaptor head off and wire the portable CD player
directly
into the car's electrical system. Suitably fused and with a quick disconnect
of course. Or does that "head" step down voltage or something and I
will burn out my CD player?
TIA!
