Hey guys,

I am the proud owner of a W123 300d (1984). However, much to my disappointment, the cigarette lighter doesn't seem to power my Garmin GPS... Does anyone have any experience using a Garmin GPS in their W123?

Since the lighter socket did not power the GPS, I thought the first thing to try would be to press the lighter itself, to see if it would charge the lighter. Well, unfortunately, the lighter somehow got stuck... It kinda pressed in, and never popped out.

Worse yet, it seems like that whole unit is now getting very hot, as if the lighter never stops heating up (but it's very possible I'm just feeling heat from the transmission tunnel).

How can I get this thing out? And what will it take to get my GPS charging?

Thanks!
