It's 2016! I have no use for the "cigarette lighter" outlet. Figured I would switch it out to 2 USB ports that put out good amperage to charge any device/phone/tabletOut of curiosity, why wouldn't you just use one of the really clean ones that flush-mount into the cigarette lighter?
Being 2016 has nothing to do with it. Cigarette lighters aren't just for lighting cigarettes. They're used to power hundreds of devices. The product MP81 posted spits out more than enough power to juice up your devices. As you can see by the image, both ports put out 2.4A.It's 2016! I have no use for the "cigarette lighter" outlet.

Power inverter for my small TV or laptop.Any one want to add to the list?
I'd say there's probably some sort of ring clip behind the socket, and it could be pried out but it would probably booger up the hole and the plug itself, to be clean you probably need to remove the whole console (which isn't hard) there are write ups on here how that's to be done.Anyone know how to get the rear power outlet out? Do i have to dismantle the whole console, or will it pop out? I am going to replace it with an outlet that is JUST 2 USB ports. Not an adapter, the actual outlet gets replaced.

My father-in-law's portable oxygen compressor (as opposed to tanks). The 1st generation Cruze has two outlets and both are 12v 25amp single outlet circuits.

Thank you. This is all I was looking for. Didn't really want to explain my decision.I'd say there's probably some sort of ring clip behind the socket, and it could be pried out but it would probably booger up the hole and the plug itself, to be clean you probably need to remove the whole console (which isn't hard) there are write ups on here how that's to be done.
My iPhone has rendered these devices obsolete. Google Maps its constantly updated and has way more information and better routing algorithms than standalone GPS units.Portable GPS, e.g. Tomtom, Garmin.
Excellent! Thank you!It just pops out as its just held on by clips.

Leave it where it is and work with the fuse box. The fuse and connection for this is one of the two 25 amp fuses in the fuse box next to the driver's door.I'd like to remove the rear cig lighter and wire it so its on all the time not just with the ignition. How do you pop the plug out? Just simply pry on it? Thanks.
