So you took a cig lighter socket and wired it (rev) from the Model A and it will run on that? I have a Tom Tom? Mrbruce
I installed an insulated cig lighter running 6 volts reversed for my Tom Tom. The Tom Tom is a very old model. I never could get it to work with the engine running. Worked fine with the engine off, but when I started the car, it would say "Searching for satellite" and never find it. Seems the electrical noise from the engine caused interference.

I recently installed different spark plugs, so I should try it again.
