I've got 3.5mm jack to usb adaptors, never seen 2.5 though. You've got some unusual kit if it outputs on 2.5mm jack. NT |

I got a short USB cable and plug my flash drive into the single AUX port -- I figured I'd eventually break the drive if I plugged it directly into the port. Get a cigarette lighter splitter with cords to the ends rather than a one-piece thing. Plug a charger-thing and cable(s) into one hole and your GPS unit into the other. Try not to step or trip on the cables. Don't ask me how I know this. This isn't the one I ordered, but similar. There are nicer ones. https://preview.tinyurl.com/ydftzees -- Cheers, Bev I didn't break it! It was doing that before I broke it... er... |
| micky <NONONOmisc07@bigfoot.com>: Apr 08 05:01PM +0300 I'm renting a brand-new car, a 2018 High'N'Dry, that has a USB style port that allows me to play a flashdrive through the radio -- but will not charge the phone using the same port. Isn't that very unusual? Impossible? It also does not have an AUX port. Isn't that very, very unusual for a car radio that has a "Media" button and which plays from a USB style port? If they go to the trouble to put in the USB circuit and jack, how much more trouble is it to put in the AUX circuit and jack. Don't the chips have both to begin with, because it's cheaper to make only one chip than a different one for each model? But the point of my post is: 1) There is no adapter made which will change a 2.5mm stereo plug into a USB connector, right?? 2) I found this: https://yourthingstore.com/products/bluetooth-fm-transmitter-car-charger but it has what seems to me to be the strangest disclaimer: "With total contact conductive electrode, the product has the compatibility to the usage of most cars' cigarette lighter. All kinds of Nissan, KIA and Subaru car are not included. Besides, Honda (Odyssey/CITY/Vezel/Crider/FIT/XR-V), Toyota(Vios), New Citroen, New Jetta, Peugeot(201/301/2008) are also not applicable. You can check the internal structures of cigarette lighters to confirm if it is applicable or not." What about the internal structures of the cigarette lighter could possibly cause this to not work if it works in other cars? Isn't it a straight 12 volts? Do they have the polarity reversed on some** cars? Hard to believe but what else is there? Aha! The physical shape! Is that it? It looks like it is of unremarkable shape. **Especially hard to believe on some Toyotas but not others, some Hondas but not others, etc. Though it's good to see that this will apparently work on all American cars. I ask not because this one item is so important but maybe this one is just more diligent about putting the warning |

| peter wieck <peterwieck9@gmail.com>: Apr 08 09:15AM -0700 Had you a camera in our bedroom, surely you would learn something - as your present state is clear and incontrovertible evidence that you live a poor and unhappy life, and have much to learn about how happiness might be achieved. Were you to try and sell me something via electronic means, be it TV or "placement" on web-pages and the like, you would fail as not only would you be lost in the noise, but that is not how we make purchasing choices. Paranoia does spring from a level of ignorance, for the most part - as do conspiracy theories. However, as one learns a bit about life, the value of either as closely held beliefs becomes clear - nil. So, those that continue following that path are no longer ignorant. They are merely stupid. And, sadly, that cannot be fixed. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

Can you bypass the dimmer? it's perfectly safe to shunt a two terminal dimmer with a piece of insulated wire. -- This email has not been checked by half-arsed antivirus software |
