It doesn't come with a power cord that plugs into the lighter, it is a standard plug.

The power cord does not plug into the cigarette lighter, only an outlet. Therefore, while an 18 foot long power cord sounds great, it is not nearly long enough if your car is not parked in a garage.

The Bissel Auto-Mate Hand Held Vacuum DOES NOT have a cord that plugs into the cigarette lighter in the car.

Yes, You use your existing cigarette lighter. The power cord that goes from your cigarette lighter to the unit plugs into the back of the mount. Then from the mount is a power cord that plugs into the phone. You can not plug the cord from the cigarette light directly into the phone because they have different ends.This system does not have It's own power system as advertised. This is a nice system for the money though.

It comes with a pigtail that plugs into back of unit and stranded wires on the other end to hook up to the car. If you have a newer vehicle that is prewired for electric brakes, you can purchase a pigtail to plug into the prewired side plug. My vehicle came with that pigtail in the glove box when I bought it.

No it does not have a cigarette lighter plug. This CB is meant too be hard wired. When I ordered the CB I also ordered a cigarette lighter plug. The positive and negative wires coming out of the radio are bare. I ordered a really nice one that crimped on the end of the wires. It needed too be crimped but it has a cool feature that allows you too unplug the leads near the cigarette lighter plug. This is a very nice CB for it's size and cost. Also keep in mind that a long fiberglass whip antenna works the best. I would not buy a magnet mount antenna, they don't work very well. I hope this information I gave you will help.

It comes with a long car charger plug in that powers it. They include these sticky hook plates that allow you to keep the wires out of site and hidden. It's really plug and play which I loved. Very impressed. Buying a 2nd one for my other car too.

This unit is not designed for your vehicles cigarette lighter outlet... the amount of amperage will always blow your fuse! I never had any problems with my unit, running it directly from the car's battery with engine running, like their manual suggests... I had problems with the smaller units that actually do plug into the car's cigarette lighter outlet to run my 1.75HP Craftsman wet/dry vacuum and this Roadpro RPPI-500/1000W Inverter did the job equal to plugging it into a home wall 120V AC. Outlet...I recommend this product for running larger home appliances you need on the road, jig saws, wet/dry vacuum's under 5HP, 32" LCD/LED energy-saving TV's, Can charge up to up to (2) laptops at the same time, etc...

I have two of these. The one I use in the car will connect automatically as it powers off with the ignition key. The one I use in the house is plugged into a wall outlet to usb power supply and I need to unplug/plug in the usb with each use to work. :(

I purchased the adapter that fits into the cigarette lighter in the car. Then the usb end of the 10 in 1 plugs into that. It has 10 different sizes to fit most of your "toys". You can charge your phone and Ipad at the same time or any other device you have with you. It only works while the car is running and you can only charge one item with the same end at a time, but if you have the use for different ends of the charger you can use each one separetly at the same time. I hope you understand what I am telling you. I love it for long car rides and my phone is always on even if I entered the car with a dead phone battery.

It comes with a plug, yes. A normal AC plug/adapter. IF you mean for the car, then no, it doesn't. I actually bought an adapter that has a plug for the cigarette lighter in the car. You can plug in any normal 2 or 3 prong cord to it and it works great. This pump is an amazing pump too, if that helps with your decision. Their customer service is great too. I once called them two months after my warranty expired and they still helped me and sent me a free replacement part.

no it does not plug into the cigarette lighter . I have mine hooked up direct from the battery .. that way the ignition does not have to be on while I am using it when I am not driving

It doesn't include an AC plug with it. It is strictly for use with a cars cigarette lighter.

Yes it plugs into a normal 120-V AC wall outlet and it also comes with a 12V DC adaptor allowing you to plug it into the cigarette lighter in a car.

Just received mine and based on the previous answers I ordered this thinking it came with a cigarette lighter power plug. IT Did Not.

There is a cord that that connects the unit to the cigarette lighter in your car. There is a built in battery which is charged thru that cord. no need for a separate charger.

It has a pretty long cord. (15') I have a 12v plug in the back of my car. I drive an Audi. BMW is a nice car so you may have one also. Look in the trunk and see if there is a plug there. That would make it easier than dealing with the cord coming from the front of the car.

This is like an oven, you need car's electricity to use. Just plug in your car's cigarette plug and it does all the work for you. You should have one if you spend alot of time on the road.

As far as I know, this product only works if you plug it into the cigarette lighter in a vehicle.
