A good fitting USB charger for a cigarette lighter?

Should be a loose plug under the console with constant power that was meant for the clock in the 81's.

Thanks Dave!

Can anyone reply with the model number of the gowesty device they bought? All the links return a 404. Based on what I can find on their website, THINK this is it: GVW-181407. But they offer a few models and I?d prefer to only order once. Thanks!

I used this. Fits perfectly and wired in no problem. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DGTCSYLJ...n_title_3&th=1

Thanks for that. Did you have to alter the cutout on the center console? Almost every replacement I?m finding requires me to grind the opening a little and I simply don?t have the tools nor the desire to start cutting things.

The little aluminum plate that is under the vinyl of the cigarette outlet would need to be filed out to make it ever so slight bigger. We are talking 20 minutes with a file or about 90 seconds with a Dremel. It's worth the upgrade. Below is a similar one to what I used... It has two USB Quick Charge ports as well as a voltage gauge that ends up being better than the voltmeter in the binnacle

Nope. Fit right in.

This is the one you want from gowesty https://gowesty.com/products/illumin...41426638897317

I first tried one from ebay and it was terrible, some people said they had success with an ebay lighter. I next tried this goweasty one and it was great.

I had that before switch to the USB. I'm never going to use the lighter so why not have extra USB ports for power supply.

Do you happen to know of something like this with power wires that has a Bluetooth FM transmitter too?

Every unit I can find in searches that has Bluetooth FM has the cigarette lighter plug. I would love to find a USB charger with bluetooth FM that is a smaller profile and has power wires like this one you have linked to.
