Right now, I have a cell phone charger, a gps unit in my car. I am thinking of buying a radar detector, also this:

Guess I need to look at the current (amperage) draw for each device and make sure I dont exceed the rating on the 12V outlet? I already have a 3 outlet adapter, guess I'll have to either get a 4 outlet adapter or plug a 2 outlet adapter in one of the connections in the 3 outlet adapter.

MP3 player w/the tape adapter.

I have a 6 disc cahnger in the trunk too, but it absolutely hates copied and mix cds (but for some weird reason, if I put the original CD in, it works fine), so realistically, I can't use it since I don't want to leave my good cds sitting in the car.

I have a full computer built into my glovebox with a dvd drive, a usb gps unit, a widescreen lcd touchscreen in a custom center console, and 115k internet access for my computer through my cellphone via its data cable. It is all tied into my audio system.

I forgot, I have a 6 disc cd changer also. I'll have to try playing copied and mix cds.

Are you happy with your X50? Wonder if I should get that or the Valentine V1.

Upgraed stock '96 4runner /w 6 cd changer, however I tend to use a tap to ipod converter. I dont know if you have heard of it but I also use this thing called the radio.
