This new vehicle came with one of those incenditary units, rather than the more common flap labeled "12V Power Outlet".<BR/><BR/>And while it is easier to grab then to lift a flap, the fool thing rattles around on the floor while not being used as a dust cover.<BR/><BR/>Amazing that it has not yet been lost. Of course, a replacement would probably cost $600 or so.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11726267862761677407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-18897328338183460672008-02-15T20:10:00.000+00:002008-02-15T20:10:00.000+00:00Do you actually use that component, or do you use ...Do you actually use that component, or do you use the socket that it plugs into?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-26970648245425773142008-02-15T20:08:00.000+00:002008-02-15T20:08:00.000+00:00I once lit a cigarette on a cross country flight a...I once lit a cigarette on a cross country flight and had the newly rated pilot in the right seat panic thinking that the airplane was about to explode.
