Hi, i have bought a ashtray with a cigarette lighter for my corsa b so that i may use a sat nav system. I have removed the original ashtray and i do not see any connectors which will allow the cigarette lighter to be connected too.

Are their any? or how can i over come this problem (without buying a new car )

I had to do the same thing in my Fiesta, but used the power from the stereo system to wire mine in.
