User Reviews
I needed to extend an inverter from the ashtray and this product did the trick. The top outlet wasn't usable because the dash was in the way but it made it possible to use the inverter. It does take up a lot of room and I have not found a good place to store it. But all in all it got the job done. -- Works fine but gets in way
The build quality of the Gilsson Universal 3-way Car Cigarette Lighter Socket Splitter is very poor.
The two cigarette sockets on it are a bit too large, and they really do not hold on at all, so unless you can get gravity to work for you, power will cut in and out on bumpy roads.
The part that inserts into your car lighter has a small piece of metal that keeps coming unattached. It ended up inside my cigarette lighter and I fried the fuse when I tried to fish it out.
I am probably going to return this piece of junk. Do not buy it! -- Fried my cigarette lighter
The socket in my Honda Civic is recessed far enough in the dash that the up-facing socket on this product is not usable. I managed to get it to work upside down, but this did not provide easy access to anything plugged into that socket.
It is also a very long unit, and anything plugged in facing front blocks access to the emergency brake in the Honda Civic. The unit does have arms that move from side to side, but the positioning proved tricky when I tried to use my ipod dock or gps, both of which have longer plugs.
I also found that some plugs fit so snugly that the silver casing inside the up-facing socket slid out of place when I tried to remove them.
Overall, this product came in working condition, but was incompatible with my particular vehicle. -- Does Not Work for Honda Civic
Worked as described and I appreciate having the USB interface also! This item's been in permanent use in my car since it arrived:
- GPS in first socket,
- Vehicle video camera in second socket; and
- iPhone frequently plugged in the USB interface (using its own cable).
Tried buying a separate iPhone charger but it was rubbish and is not being used; don't waste your money and buy this instead!
Some reviewers commented on accessory plugs slipping out; I haven't had that problem but mostly drive on good city roads with minimal vibration.
Good product and I'm happy with it. -- Working well so far!
I only gave this two stars because I cannot access the upper socket as my lighter socket is too sunken into my dashboard. -- 3 way car lighter socket splitter
