extra cig lighters?
There are only 2 things on the vibe I have found so far the first is the tiny gas tank, but i just have to get used to that i guess. One thing that I would not like to accept is only having a 12v cig lighter. has anyone added an extra one? where did you locate it? how hard is it to do? If no one has done this I may try to figure out a way to do it.

Shouldn't there be an extra one inside the center console?I've never even used mine since I have the dash plug in for 115v.

But yeah the centre console should have one & the adaptor is also a great fix. What are you wanting to do, and how many do you need?

The 09-10's have only 1 12V socket! Well, at least my 09 base 1.8 does, not too sure about the AWD or GT off the top of my head. The only thing in the centre console is a black mat and a couple bolts!

Some of us have put the socket in. I did it and it only cost me about $5. I'm not sure if the '09-'10 models were wired for one there or not.

I have a Gps and Ipod that I have plugged in for my long drives. I get sick of switching back and forth between them. I don't really use the 120v outlet cause gps doesn't have a plug for it and the ipod plug is awkward. I have thought of the splitter but was not sure if there was a plug that i could make look stock. my last vehicle has 4 in the front one in the back seats and one in the trunk just not used to only having one.

Re: (midnighthunder89)
Wow I have 2. One in my front next to the 12V plug and then another in the bottom of my center console. Although I have an 05 Matrix XR AWD.I have my GPS plugged into the cig lighter just enough so it's not actually using any power. I have the power wire then going into the dash right there and out through the windshield defroster vents. And finally the bit of cable there is tucked neatly with the vents hidden away for when I need to slap on the suction cup and GPS itself. Works great and keeps my cords out of the way. I hate cords!
