I just bought a used Chevy 3500 passenger van and we realized that the cigarette lighter can't be used as an aux power port (according to the manual if I'm reading it right). That only leaves us with one power port for us and 6 kids! I know we can get some kind of splitter to plug into it, but I'm wondering if it's possible to have something a little more built in. Can I get a second port mounted on the dash? How about running it further back into the van? What do you think guys?

Thanks,
Nate Baxley

 

Nbaxley,

I agree that you should not use the lighter for an auxiliary port to plug in your accessories. I would advise you to contact your local dealership to confirm if there would be anyway you could get more power outlets for the accessories you need to use. They will be able to let you know if there is a way you can get this so you will have enough outlets for you and your family.

Thank you!
