i want to run a gps and bluetooth phone in my 1300 vw beetle. they require a 12volt power (cigar lighter socket)
my car doesnt have one. is it easy to fit one and does a beetle have an accessories position on the ignition to charge the devices when not in use.
cheers

No you will just have to connect it to battery or ignition.

Hi
Just fit a cigarette light socked to your car, use a rocker switch or toggle switch connected to battery powere and use it to turn it on and off, I do this on my VWs to operate the radio, cigarette lighter etc.
Just dont forget to turn it off BTW is your car 12 volt?

There is a factory cigarette lighter hole in the dash on flat dash 12 volt bugs, next to the ashtray but I prefer to hardwire a multi socket unit in with USB ports as well
