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!
