maybe the wrong area.........but i want to use my satnav on the bike next month in france. i need to adapt a ciggy type lighter to accecpt my 12 v plug in from my satnav. Im thinking of a fused cigarette type adaptor - my question is - where can i get one? i assume it will be ok to split n fit to my optimate line? thx.

Could be good - saw this........on the description."please check that your cigarette lighter is live when the ignition is OFF. The accessory plug lead is wired for NEGATIVE EARTH vehicles – if you have a positive earth vehicle it is necessary to rewire the plug accordingly – this is a simple job as screw terminals " - again i assume its a straight switch job? if so thanks im sorted. Presumably just split n wire? im rubbish at electrics as you probably guessed................give me a mech failure anytime.
