Any issues using the cigarette lighter as a power source?

Hi,

I was going try and discreetly install a qi charger in my tundra. My plan was to hide the wires within the center console and tap into the cigarette lighter wires for a power source.

Do you guys see any issues with this approach? I just don't want to overlook something.

Thanks

 

Did the same thing, i tapped into the rear cig lighter. Just be sure to use a 12v DC to 5v DC stepdown

 

Which was the positive and which was negative? Are they easy to identify?

 

Standard black and red, this is the stepdown i used

I mean on the back of the cig lighter plug. I want to tap in to it but as far as I remember they aren’t red and black.

 

They were on mine, just used an inline tap and done

 

Hey OP- do yourself a favor and jsut spend the $11 and get a multimeter from Amazon. It WILL save you time and headaches, and potentially save a boat load of $ by avoiding frying something.
