Obviously you have the latest in wireless cigarette lighter technology!!!
There are contacts on the drivers side of the ash tray that supply power. Last edited by tangofox007; 04-18-2005 at 11:36 AM.

the plug feeding the cigarette lighter is hot (has 12 volts) all the time, be careful in connecting them you don't short them out, it may be recommendable to disconnect the battery before messing with them.
BTW I believe you will find that US appliance plugs won't fit or won't fit the MB socket well, the sizes are different for some reason. I plan on installing a remote cigarette lighter socket somewhere on my car. I haven't decided where to mount it yet.

The lighter is powered through contacts on the left side of the ash tray. The connection is made when the ash tray is opened. Power is available in when the ignition switch is any position except "OFF." There are no wires connecting to the ash tray itself.
