    What cigarette lighter socket splitters are you using? Are there any threads on here I should read? Do you have pictures? I want to see how others are living with these things.

    I finally got an antennae on my truck and want to power my ham radio, but I also have two USB plugs that I plug my iPhone into.

    I have the Hondo Garage mount and cable guides and the USB socket I'm using gives me a little more slack with the standard Apple charger than the builtin (horrible) USB/iPod plug, but not a whole lot extra.

    I'm a little worried that the socket splitters with extension cables will require me to put the end I plug my phone into too far away (i.e. between the passenger seat and the center console) from the cable itself, causing me to buy another cable or awkwardly shove that end into where the Qi charger pad is.

    Any recommendations?

    I'm liking the mount. Where did you get it?
