Vectra Without Lighter Socket, But Need To Charge Gadgets

[george]

Hi All
My Vectra (2004) 1.8 has no electric/cigarette lighter sockets. This never
used to bother me, but I recently purchased a GPS and halfords fitted a wire
from my dashboard for GPS to plug into, which works rather well. I would
like to get a phone cradle and parrot bluetooth set up for a complete
handsfree, so any ideas how I can get the electric power outlet?
Cheers

Firstly, are you sure there isn't a lighter socket under the flap that
coveres the ashtray? Just in front of the gear lever? That's were it is
on mine.
Secondly Parrot do some very nice Bluetooth handsfree kits that connect
to the back of the radio via the ISO radio plugs.

Are you sure it has no socket? I have never seen one without.

They are normally in the ashtray.

I must be lucky, my 2.2 Vectra Estate, 2004, has three. One beside the
ashtray, one behind the front seats and the third in the boot.
