Just found the pinouts

Pin Name Description Cable Colour 1 Vcc +5V DC Red 2 D- Data - White 3 D+ Data + Green 4 Gnd Ground Black

I've got a lighter charger - it powers the dash mounted heater..... Thanks for the pinout. I can fit a voltage regulator so (in theory) my plan should work. Jon

Bic lighters fit into defunct cigarette lighter sockets by some querk of design

And how do you find the performance of your dash mounted heater?
