ok im looking for an adapter that you plug into a cig lighter and it converts it so that you can use standard plugs in your car. i went to radioshack and found one but the thing is a monster and just way too big and gawdy. i saw someone who had one which is slightly bigger than the cig lighter it replaces and it also had a usb adapter so you can charge things that have a usb such as an ipod. anyone know where i can find this pro###t?
 






I know of one that is branded Wagan. It's a small unit that plugs into the cigarette or aux socket and has 2 110/120v power outlets on it. It is pretty small and has a cooling fan. Anything that small is probably going to get pretty hot, pretty fast. I would keep an eye and nose on it...

Another option would be an inverter that has a corded connection to the aux socket. You can either permanent mount the inverter or use it portable. They look much like a car amplifier but have multiple 110/120v outlets. More flexible and run alot cooler.
