Amico Black 2 Dual Socket Car Cigarette Charger w/ USB Port

Amico Black 2 Dual Socket Car Cigarette Charger w/ USB PortWhat a great price for a priceless little gadget. I only have one plug and too many devices that need plugging in! This certainly solves that problem!

Purchased and only used 1 month before it died. Plugged in a charger and fuse inside must have blown and it didn't work again. Great idea to have multiple sockets but not worth the money if it doesn't work longer than a month.

Using all 3 ports. Fits into an almost hidden socket in the dash (Subaru Outback). Using it for a Garmin GPS, iPhone holder/charger and an extra USB charger for my kids iPhone.

I ordered this last minute to use for a trip. when it arrived it looked good. but the actual product is a fake. or more like a toy. you can tell by the time you get it out of the packaging there is no weight to it at all. just cheap plain plastic and some shiny stuff on the inside. obviously it won't work since it doesn't eve have the right attachments. you can plug it in nothing will happen. its a waste of money. not that it cost a lot but still a complete waste.

Even though the website stated that this cable would fit my specific MP3 player (Samsung YP-K3), it did not fit. The connector was too small. It was only about $5-6 including shipping, so it's really not worth sending it back. This is the issue with buying something online can't try it before you buy it.........

This item was really perfectly fine. I have no problems with it and I still use it to charge my mp3 player.

Husky Liners Custom Fit WeatherBeater Front and Second Seat Floor Liner Set for Select Kia Sorento

Husky Liners Custom Fit WeatherBeater Front and Second Seat Floor Liner Set for Select Kia Sorento ModelsI purchased these for my 2011 Kia Sorento. They went in easy and cover everything I hoped they would. Overall these will provide excellent protection for your vehicle. I had a set of WeatherTechs in a previous vehicle and while these aren't quite as nice, they were nearly $80 cheaper which more than makes up for it in my opinion.

Get a set of these and you won't be disappointed!

Love these. Would buy again! Keep them in year round. The custom fit is fantastic. A little difficult to get out because of the rubber spikes on the bottom, but they stay right in place.

These mats came within ten days and the fear of my floors being destroyed by my children and dog have disappeared. I look forward to skiing and not worrying about the floors getting muddy or wet. Now if they just made something for my seats I would be in heaven.

Want Husky Liners Custom Fit WeatherBeater Front and Second Seat Floor Liner Set for Select Kia Sorento Discount?

Purchased these for a 2012 KIA Sorento SX, the "dressiest" trim level of the vehicle. Though they fit well and meet the need for protection of the floor, we have decided to return them for several reasons.

Unlike traditional rubber floor mats, the Husky mats are a stiff "plastic" material that, at least in our opinion, looks out of place in a vehicle that otherwise has a relatively "upscale" interior. That's a matter of taste, of course, and it's certainly true that the coverage the mats provide is far better than the traditional rubber mats available from KIA. Still, the "feel" of the mats under one's feet is a bit....well, cheesy.

The first point would not be a deal breaker if it were not for the second and third problems. Like many mats, these are held in place with tiny "nibs" that grip the carpet to prevent movement. (They are not designed to accommodate the Sorento's floor "buttons" to hold the mats in place.) The nibs would work well except for the fact that they are extremely sharp, more like tiny VERY sharp spikes. In fact, one must be extremely careful handling the mats to avoid puncture wounds. Once in place, I have no doubt that the mats will stay in place but I would be concerned about the damage to the carpet underneath after extended use. Furthermore, trying to remove the mats for cleaning can be a risky endeavor.

The sharp spikes are especially problematic in the second row single mat that covers both sides (and the center) of the floor. The problem is two-fold. First, with kids in the back seat it's possible for tiny fingers to encounter the spikes if too much exploration of the floor is involved. (Yes, I know, what's the kid doing down there? LOL.)

Second, although a single mat that covers the center drive line "hump" seems like a good idea, it makes removing the mat for cleaning a much more involved task. And with the tiny spikes, it's best undertaken by two people to avoid scratching the interior. Believe me, the spikes are VERY sharp.

In short, after considering the hazards and the looks of the mats, we decided to return them in favor of the more traditional (though admittedly less protective) rubber mats from KIA and to save a few bucks in the bargain. For those who are looking for the best possible protection of the carpet in the Sorento, I'd recommend at least looking at the competition from WeatherTech before opting for a lower priced alternative.

Keyless Entry Remote Fob Clicker for 2004 Ford Explorer With Do-It-Yourself Programming

Keyless Entry Remote Fob Clicker for 2004 Ford Explorer With Do-It-Yourself ProgrammingOrdered two for my 2004 Ford Explorer. Within 5 minutes both were working perfect. The instructions in my Ford Manual worked for me a little better then the ones that came with it, but they are about the same. Would highly recommend!

Got this for $20 cheaper than my local dealership had it for. Came with clear and easy to follow instructions, I had it programmed within 10 minutes of getting it. Shipped fast, and got to me quickly and undamaged. The battery did die sooner that expected, but the dealership had batteries for $4.50. I am very happy with this product.

Viper 474V 4-Button Remote

Viper 474V 4-Button RemoteWorks perfectly with my system although the instructions are needlessly complex and I couldn't get it to work with their instructions so I looked it up on the web. I will leave the instructions here so that you don't have to go through the aggravation I did to make it work. (or have a local alarm/stereo shop quote you a price of $55 per remote to program them because it supposedly takes an hour and a half per remote)

1. Open the drivers door

2. Turn key 2 clicks to the on position but do not start the car.

3. Under the dash locate the valet switch and press it one time

4. Press and hold it again until the alarm makes noise

5. While holding the valet button press the lock or unlock button on the remote

6. Turn the key off and test the remote.

7. Repeat for any additional remotes you need programmed.

This whole process took me less than a minute to program both my new remotes following these instructions and I am not a tech person

Excellent replacement if you want a 4-button remote for the Viper 350HV system. Does not list the 350HV system as compatible, but programmed fine. Even setup to use progressive door unlocking!

I had the "older" style FOB and it was relatively bigger than this newer style. I like the smaller and more compact version a lot better. I reprogrammed this on a relatively older alarm system that I bought in 2002 (Viper 500ESP). The instructions on how to program were pretty easy to understand. I had a small problem because my valet switch had broken off due to the installer putting it right by the clutch pedal. Fixed that with a new switch. Then I had a problem with the system not recognizing my door being open due to installer not hooking up the door sensor. Fixed that too and was easily able to reprogram key FOB.

I bought a new 2010 Titan and while closing the deal I find out the XE didn't come with an alarm or keyless entry (unbelievable). The dealer kicked me down a $200 check towards an alarm to keep the deal together. Paranoid about not having an alarm I had Best Buy install a 350HV alarm with keyless entry the next day. It was the cheapest quickest alarm I could get at around $275 installed. Once I got home I realized the remote was a three button with lock/unlock as one button which sucked. I sometimes check my locks from in the house or across the parking lot when around town and remembering one beep or two just doesn't cut it. I searched and searched for a four button alternative (separate lock/unlock) and ran across Damon's review here on Amazon saying this would work with my system. Ordered it on Weds 3/31 had it on Mon 4/5. Following the directions it took a couple of minutes to set up and viola a four button remote that works perfect on my 350HV. I am now ordering a second for my wife. Awesome product, awesome service at a fair price.

Fonus Universal Rotatable Car Mount Lighter Socket Holder Dock with USB Charging Port for Apple Iph

Fonus Universal Rotatable Car Mount Lighter Socket Holder Dock with USB Charging Port for Apple Iphone 5Good concept. Poor execution. Gravity. 'Nough said. Could be better in a non-vertical socket, but it shifts downward when plugged into dash socket in our SUV.

I needed some thing easy to get my iPhone 5 in and out of quickly and hold it securely that would allow me to look at it while I drive if needed (gps directions etc.) This is perfect. It fits in my cigarette lighter and holds in place (mine is a vertical plug in holding it straight up as it is beside the shifter). I have purchased the Micro USB adapter to Apple Lightning connector and I can charge it through the USB port with the included cable. I am able to adjust the display to hold in place either portrait or landscape mode. I recommend this product.

The product is solid and works well with any USB cable that you provide.

The only issue is the lighter adapter. Most are very shallow and since this is a heavy with a cell phone, it's easy for this adapter to for the charger not to stay connected.

Peak PKC0JH 12 Volt 6" Clip-on Fan

Peak PKC0JH 12 Volt 6' Clip-on FanLiving in Arizona without back seat AC, the kids in the backseat have to sweat through every car ride in the summer. This fan is perfect. It plugs rights into the car charger, can clip to the headrest post or the coat hanger and blows vigorously enough cool the whole back row. Since we purchased it a few months ago, the fan has been tossed, crushed, and dropped and has withstood all of it. Especially for the price, if you need a fan for your car, this is a bargain.

The only complaint that I had was needing to assemble the clip on assembly when the fan arrived, but this only took a few minutes. Also beware with small children, the space between the wires on the cover are large enough for my one-year-old to slip his fingers in.

This fan really blows the air around. We are using it in our toy hauler (travel trailer). It is also very noisy but that is what we were looking for. We have a baby and needed some kind of white noise to help him sleep through us coming in at night. It has a very consistant hum.

Bought this to provide cooling for our dog during a herding trial last summer. Ran it off a Black & Decker Electromate power packBlack & Decker VEC026BD Electromate 400 Jump-Starter with Built-In Air Compressor. The fan generated ample air movement, running all day (8+ hours) off the Electromate. I agree with the other reviewer that the clamp is restrictive, but managed to position it so it directed the air where needed.

Cobra CPI 1575 1500 Watt 12 Volt DC to 120 Volt AC Power Inverter

Cobra CPI 1575 1500 Watt 12 Volt DC to 120 Volt AC Power InverterThis review is in response to some comments regarding wire and fuse size selections for this inverter and others like it.

In response to other review quoting a table from the National Electric Code (NEC). While the table that was posted is correct for 115VAC (household voltage) is does not translate directly to 12VDC (automotive voltage). When dealing with a 12 volt system there is less concern with wires overheating, at least in the way that the NEC considers it, and far more concern with voltage drop. When running wiring a reasonable distance (a couple hundred feet or so) there is little concern with voltage drop with AC power. But when dealing with DC, simply increasing your wiring distance 5-10' can have a drastic effect on voltage drop. That is why this inverter should be wired with, at the very least, #4 wire and really should be installed with #2 or thicker, especially if you need to run wire 15 or 20 feet or more.

The purpose of a fuse in a DC system is to protect the rest of your electrical system in the event of a short. That is why you always want to install your fuse as close to the battery as possible (no more then 3' if you can help it). As far as the amperage goes, there is a really good quick reference chart for automotive wire size that can be found at Tessco's web site here:[Turns out I can't link to an outside page so I'll paste the contents of the table at the bottom]. But to boil it down, you can safely fuse a 12VDC circuit at 150, or 200 amps, or more on #4, #2 or #0 wire.

Now this unit at full load is something like 85% efficient. So if you do the math -1500 Watts / 12 Volts / .85 efficiency = ~147 amps, A 150 AMP FUSE IS REQUIRED. If you take peak power into account you would need to double that to a 300 amp fuse, but because the inverter cannot run at peak power for more then a moment, a slow-blow 150amp fuse may work just fine, or perhaps you could step up a 200amp. I wouldn't go all the way to a 300 amp fuse unless you really found that you needed it and had the inverted is wired in such a way that it could handle that level current (read: installed using very heavy gauge wire). Now if your vehicle is running while your inverter is working the amperage will be a little lower because your dealing with 14.4 VDC rather then 12 volts (watts = volts x amps -oramps = watts / volts). But at the very least, a 150 amp ANL fuse is very good idea and not at all over sized.

Just a FYI on fuses, most car stereos are installed with AGU style fuses, but they only go up to 100 amps.

You will need an ANL style fuse to get one rated at 150 amps or more. See these links for examples:

The Peak PKC0CS Charger is not a smart charger or intelligent charger as the description indicates. This is just one of many standard automotive chargers that provides inadequate performance.

Dual Front & Rear Camera DVR Car Vehicle Dash Dashboard GPS Data Recorder 1.3M

Dual Front & Rear Camera DVR Car Vehicle Dash Dashboard GPS Data Recorder 1.3M
  • Dual cameras, one front view and one back-view, and the back one can rotate up to 20 degrees.
  • 140 degree front and 120 degrees rear facing wide angle lenses.
  • Split screen modes to view both cameras simultaneously.
  • G-Sensor functions. Support above 4GB TF card
  • Integrated real-time GPS records location, support GPS Map.

While the functioning of the video and gps seem to work fine, this unit has 2 fatal flaws. The camera itself is about a 2 inch x 6 inch diameter tube which is really kind of big to be mounted on your windshield. When you add the monstrosity of a window mount on it, it takes up half your windshield. REALLY DUMB design.

The other MAJOR fatal flaw is that the GPS module drains the battery and when fully drained, it resets the clock/date. On a full charge it took about 12-16 hours to drain the battery and it is much too inconvenient to disconnect the gps module every time you stop.

Another aspect that I do not like is the gps module is separate from the camera so you would have to have 2 cables running up the the unit. I did not really give it a good test because I sent it right back.

Sure seems like someone could make a really small, inexpensive car dvr...

This camera does not come with a micro SD card. You have to buy a micro SD card and reader, but it's simple to find at Best Buy, Walmart, etc. I purchased a 32 Gig Micro SD, plugged it into the reader and my PC automatically formatted the disc. Once you insert the card, the camera auto starts. If you see russian or other language, simply click MENU and select the chat box icon, then select language. Once you install in your vehicle, place the 12 volt power adapter into an AUX power slot that powers on when the vehicle is strated...this will cause your camera to auto-activate each time you start your vehicle. This model doesn't have Infra-Red nighttime capability, but does take good images of night-time driving. The images are stable and GPS locator also records location and spped which you can view during playback. Relatively cheap camera with good operation and clarity for the money.

The Pro 3600 is a significant step forward in remote radar detectors for Whistler. I love the concept of not having a radar detector on the dash, windshield, or visor. For many years I have used the Whistler Pro 3450 in several vehicles with great results and reliability. The newer 3600 has the modular design which offers more versatility and also more wires to deal with. I was unable to get an over the phone install price from two local businesses, so I did it myself. Installation is the main reason that it gets four stars. I have had previous experience, but the process is always challenging. If you have not had any experience with this type of DIY project, then get help or have it done professionally. I installed this on my Prius... and yes for those skeptics, the vehicle will go fast enough to get you in trouble. I had to install the antenna in the vertical position using two sided heavy duty sticky tape and the reflector. This was very easy and so far has worked well. Getting through the fire wall is always a problem. I did not drill the recommended 15/32" hole in the fire wall. Instead, I opted to insert a small "snake" through a grommet and carefully wrapped and protected the phone type modular connection with tape. Then I lubricated the taped connection with original ArmorAll and carefully pulled it through into the dash. In fact, I pushed and my wife pulled. Please get help if you have not done this before. The Pros: Unit works very well. Definitely more sensitive and specific than the Pro 3450. The small console can be stuck or mounted almost any where, and is a major improvement over visible radar detectors and is much smaller than the 3450 console. The voice module also works great and is an asset to keeping you alert and safe. (It even reminds you to fasten your seat belt.) Less expensive than competitors. The Cons: May be too sensitive if that is even possible. On the "highway" setting, detects signals from very far away. When in a big city like Denver on the major roads, there are numerous K, Ka, & Laser signals with no law enforcement visible. Some obviously are false signals. But it does keep you alert. No Ku detection which is not yet a problem. Lots of wires to hide. Does not come with enough plastic cable ties. I have not yet considered the optional GPS module because it has to be out in the open where it can see the sky. This totally defeats the concept of a remote or hidden radar detector. I do recommend this product. It is worth the extra cost over the 3450 model to get the technological improvements. It is too early to comment on long term reliability.

I highly recommend the installation as a great project for two people who want to enhance or test the strength of their relationship. Even more so at 2 AM. But, it sure beats spending 3 hours in traffic court.

I recently purchased this radar detector. I ordered it overnight because I was taking a trip in a few days. Ordered on late Friday night and arrived Tuesday by noon. I installed this detector approx 1 hour for installation. It comes with 2 small booklets install manual and operator manual. I downloaded them off the internet so I could have full page instructions. I took a 4 hour trip and saw a few cops shooting radar. It seemed responsive on X, K, but Ka didn't give a long warning like I was hoping. I later learned that there is a Ka max setting. I turned this on and wow. Excellent warning. I have had Cobra base radar detectors in the past and this one blows them away. Laser does have many false alerts mainly by major airports. It goes crazy around O'Hare in Chicago. I learned that you can silence/store certain lasers and allow others. This thing is completely customizeable.I am currently working on disabling certain lasers that are not used in US. I am very pleased with my purchase (no tix yet) lol. I will probably get the rear antenna in the future but works great for now.

I took my time and installed this radar detector. I like it because it is completely hidden. I mounted the control under my dash to where no one can see it. In the past month I have driven over 1200 miles and let me say I have ZERO speeding tickets. I strongly recommend this radar detector.

AeroVironment Plug-In Residential EV Charger (Level 2 Plug-In EVSE-RS: 7.2kW, 30A)

AeroVironment Plug-In Residential EV ChargerWe had been trying to buy this product for about a month on Amazon but it had been sold out. We were able to order it from aerovironment directly about two weeks ago, before it reappeared on Amazon. We did pay a bit more but weren't sure when we would see it here on the site. So far it has been great. We had the outlet installed for around $250 and that made installation very easy. Didn't take much over twenty minutes and we were charging the car with the Level 2 charger. Having the charger is great and relieves a lot of the anxiety range you can get with the level 1 charger and a Leaf. If you can get over the fact the manufacturer also builds drones, this is a good product. One other issue is it is a little harder to get the nozzle into the car than the charger that comes with the car. Our 5 year old loves setting up the charger but has had trouble with the new charger.

This EVSE works perfectly with my 2012 Nissan LEAF. I installed the outlet for it myself and then just plugged this in when it arrived -although, a word of warning, you probably don't want to do it like that. Wait for this to arrive before installing an outlet, because the included template shows you good places to put the outlet -mine was actually a little bit too close. The cord is very short and very stiff, so the valid locations for the outlet are limited.

My only complaint is that these things are so expensive. Considering what it does: When it gets an appropriate signal from the car, it turns on the AC current in the cable. It doesn't seem like there's a thousand dollars worth of technology here.

The package arrived in a day even before Amazon updated the shipping status. Very easy to install. Plug connection is pretty short and thick, so you may want to install the NEMA 6-50 receptacle after installing the unit. The included templates provides all "reaches" for installing the outlet .

It charges the car and gets the job done. Appears to be a quality piece of equipment, but I'm not sure why it should cost $1,000+. It's a charger, not a computer, but from what I read it's the best one for the Leaf so I bought it. Other than the high cost, I'm happy with it. I'm hoping it lasts forever.
