I'm pretty sure they didn't come with cigarette lighters? As far as I know, none of the air-cooled cars came with cigarette lighters, although they all had ash trays. In any case, you can just install any generic cigarette lighter, either brand new or from any 12 volt car.

Hi thankyou for the tips just need a cig lighter for the navman sometimes.

Just buy one at super cheap or autobahn

I have a brand new unit for a Lada,it is pretty flash with a back light etc pm if interested.

They were a dealer fitted accessory when the car was sold new.

Most people use generic ones but the originals matched the VW dash knobs, the 6 volts had a matching ivory knob and the 12 volt had a black rubber one that matched the headlights/wiper switch, I still have one in my bug.

Didn't they market them as "cigar lighters" ?

I have the correct matching lighter part. Fits any socket you buy from the auto stores but has the correct knob with symbol that matches the other dash knobs. Was from the USA. That way it looks factory when you unplug the Navman.

Pm me if you are interested. They sell around $20 so I'd let it go for that. Probably got a bonnet strip too. Also have a couple of quarter window frames here so would have the button.
