I'm sure I read somewhere in the manual(*) that I wasn't supposed to put anything else into the lighter socket on my XKR but I was surprised to find that a phone charger doesn't seem to work in there. I've tried a couple and no luck. Has anyone else had any issues running gadgets off the socket?
I know I can charge it from the USB socket in the box between the seats, but that means unplugging the USB stick full of things to listen too.

(*) The manual seems to have been written by a hyper cautious legal dept. and carries a disclaimer of just about everything.

OK, I'm halfway between the 2 of you, mine's a 2010.
I guess I should try the lighter and see whether that works next time I have the car out... What an excuse hey biggrin
