Just discovered that the OEM cigarette lighter won't work with the charger for my new cell phone. The lighter socket must be an older design that doesn't mate up right with the "male" charger unit. I know I can simply buy an aftermarket power socket and wire it up separately, but I'm wondering if anyone has found a more elegant solution for this problem. Thanks!

Drive your car to Radio Shack... if they don't have one... they probably know where you can get an adapter...

Mine fits fine. Just in an awkward spot. I bump it and later find out my phone hasn't charged

Cheers,

Bill

Mines the same way, got to twist and move it to just the right spot then make sure nothing touches it or it stops charging.
