cigarette lighter hole

[mikeprekopa]

ok... so deos anyone else have a ton of stuff running off their cigarette lighter ?

im just wondering...

i have my ipod charger, the radio transmitter, radar detector, and if im bored, my CB radio :P lol... i have it all tucked away under my dash, but now i have a big hole where the plug was...

what should i put in the plug hole ??? any ideas are welcome... so long as they are somewhat cheap... lol

wow... odd they dont do that from the factor or anything :|... lol jk

i was thinking about a push button starter.... but thats kinda ricer.... but it looks lame with this circle hole in the middle of the dash... idk.... if i ever get some cash, ill make a fiberglass cover for it... if i ever learn to fab. with fiberglass

I had a push starter on my civic. I don't think it's a bad idea at all. Just make sure you get it wired correctly and a good push start device and not one cheaply made. Sucks when you think you got a good deal on something and one day you can't start your car because the button doesn't work, lol.

ehh... i dont think its that amazing... you still have to put the key in, and turn it... y not just go the extra 1/8th inch..... ide like to get something wired up with RFID or something, so i dont need to use key ignition... that way i just get in, and the RFID unlocks the ignition, then ide use a push button to start it...

but i have a sinking feeling that its gonna be expensive...

i know theres a car that does that... but i forget which car... i wonder if i couldnt just rip it out of a junked car (the 1 that had it) and wire something up into my car :P...

You talking about the Nissan Milano?

[bmore303]

All Infinitis have them standard now. They're also adding them to most of the newer Nissan models.

I use it to power my bluetooth lcd rearview mirror. I just installed it last week. Pretty neat.


You can get this to plug the hole: :)

EDIT: You have to attach it to a lighter plug of course and stick it in that hole.

EDIT2: If you want a cheap alternative, go for those things that provide LED lights with metal goose neck or something.

no no no... i took my lighter out of the trim so i wouldnt have 3 splitters dangleing around, so thats all hidden under the dash, but now i have a hole in the trim i wanna fill :P

[SleekGTZ]

aaahh, ok, hehe. let me think about that....hmmm, that's a tough one. How about a sticker?

[7gftw]

you could cut a hole out of abs plastic and glue it on he underside of the hole... then fill it in with some bondo... and sand it down then just paint both of the dash pieses

[mikeprekopa]

thx 7gftw...

i was thinking about doing that, but i wanna get an extra dash set just incase i screw it up... plus i need to get the part that goes around the shifter anyway... its been broken since i bought the car...

now i have a project to do... ill have to wait till i move though... hope the apt. complex doesnt get bitchy about me doing stuff on my car

[thebirdman13]

or... you can rewire the accesory wire with large wire and have a distributor block...
