works perfectly!
Okay, I know there have been a few negative reviews, but for the life of me I can't understand why. I mean I have a 1995 Ford Taurus and this fits perfectly in my car and does what it is supposed to do. I have a radar detector hooked up to this and I will be hooking up a GPS unit shortly. So I have no complaints. It works fine and for the price you can't pass this up. If you want to blow your money then feel free to pay for a more expensive unit, but they all do the same thing.

Did not fit in my car 12V socket
The shaft is too long for my 12V socket and it would not snap in far enough to engage the metal tabs on the side of the adapter. In my Nissan when I try to push it in it does not go in far enough to hold and snaps back out. In my Chevy it goes in deeper and works for a while, but the shaft is still too long and if I hit a bump it sometimes springs back out and loses contact.

make sure it fits
the thing works just fine. I'm just a little sour because I neglected to take measurements and investigate whether it would physically fit in my car. It doesn't. Be smart. Measure twice, buy once.

I ended up giving it away as a gift to someone whose car does allow it to fit, and it works just fine. No problems with it other than the fact that the picture makes it look a lot longer than it actually is.

It didn't work in my cig. lighter adaptor
I'm not sure if there's something unusual about the cigarette lighter adapter in my Ford Escape Hybrid, but this dual outlet plug adapter didn't fit in far enough for the side contacts to touch where they needed to for the power to go through it.

It may be my particular outlet in the car, but I'd definitely check to make sure you have a fairly deep cig. lighter outlet for this to work.

The company did respond pretty quickly, but it would have cost them and me more than it was worth for a $4 item to send it back and try to get me a different one.
