I know there's a power connector in the dash ready for the installation of the smokers kit. I would like to use that connector to power my GPS (which runs off USB). The mains transformer for the GPS is rated at 1.5A.
I was thinking about buying a cigarette lighter socket and a USB car adapter (eg 3.1A Dual USB Car Adaptor - Jaycar Electronics)
However, I've just come across this DC 12V to DC 5V Mini USB Car Charger Step-Down Module:
DC 12V to DC 5V Mini USB Car Charger Step-Down Module for Cell Phone - Black - Worldwide Free Shipping - DX
The price is pretty attractive. I'm guessing that all I would need to do is crimp a couple of spade connectors to it.
Anyone think I'm barking up the wrong tree?
