   The cig lighter hasnt worked since i got the car, And its annoying me because i really want to use it for a sat nav and to charge my phone.
   
   When i took a look there was nothing connected to the back of it, And no socket attached to any wires at the back, Ive taken some pictures,
   
   Please tell me if im going to be able to wire it up some how!
   Thanks.
   
   
   
   
   This is not in use and i have no idea what its for, Could i some how use these wires?

   Try using the search bar, I may be wrong but I'm sure I've seen a guide on this some where. Don't quote me though

   What is the yellow connector with the green wires? Looks like it might fit...
   
   If you've definitely not got any wires for the cig lighter you /could/ chop in to the switched live for the stereo along with the ground. It's not OEM, but it'll work and be fine to use.

    As said, get a live from the headunit and an earth or make your own earth and connect them onto the prongs on the back of the cigarette lighter. Thats what I did as mine didnt come with one either.
