Euro 2 pin socket

[greenp]

Hi all... Does anyone know if I can get an adapter that converts the 2 pin euro socket behind the passenger's seat to a 3 pin socket.... I know I can only draw 150 watts front his point but would like to plug a UK 3 pin plug in when not hooked up to mains... Thanks Paul

Offcoarse there are converter sockets for that...search the www

Hi Paul,

Yes, I have one,

but if you search for one the socket in the Cali is a peculiar shape.

You may want to try a few cali accessory places

This is what you need but it is expensive from this company.

You can also get USB compatible plugs that give the standard USB output.

What you need is a old continental two pin shaver or camera lead. Cut the end of and put a three pin socket on the end of it. Works a treat .

If you mean the inverter socket on the b pillar then I bought a multi adapter from the club shop

Unfortunately the Forum Shop no longer sells them, but they were the same as in my link in my previous post, but cheaper.

Are there any other uses for the inverter socket other than charging phones/laptops?

 

[GrannyJen]

Charging bose mini's

 

[greenp]

Thanks everyone... Fantastic forum Fantastic people....very helpful. .. Best Paul

 

[larrylamb]

Charging bose mini's

oooohhh, get you.

 

[GrannyJen]

oooohhh, get you.

Yes, but it won't charge my macbook, something about the sine profile...

not that I would have a clue what that means, I know more about sin than sine

 

[larrylamb]

Ok,I use one of these for usb charging, usually overnight in the cab 12v sockets

 

[GrannyJen]

I've got those the kitchen and front ash tray sockets. Most useful.

My macbook charger lives plugged into the otherwise inaccessible 12V socket by the bench seat, the lead long enough to charge my macbook on the move when it's tucked into the drivers seatback pocket.

Comfortz have them. You ca fit just about any plug into them, not just UK three pin.

Planning ahead and will be wanting my MacBook Air in the Cali. Not something I've needed to do before and just looking for some confirmation on which particular option people are using? Presumably off one of the USB's

I use a USB Lavolta from Amazon.

It stays plugged into the USB socket between bench seat and sliding door which means macbook in rear seat pocket can be charged on the move.

Thanks will have a look

When you get a chance could you give me a link for that one. Don't think I'm looking at the same one. Ta

Mike,

I've just ordered one of these.

It's an adapter that will enable you to plug your original apple charger into the 2 pin euro socket which is fed from the invertor (so will work off the leisure battery). The one I've ordered is expensive but it is supposedly a genuine Apple accessory and since work has just bought me a shiny new macbook pro I'd better not risk blowing it up with a dodgy adapter.

There are much cheaper (approx £5) ones available on eBay. The risk should be minimal as I'm pretty sure the adapter is passive.

I should be getting it mid-week so I'll confirm whether it does the job.

Your a star. My other half says thank you as it's for her shiny MacBook Air and I don't want to blow that up either.

I will hold off to see how you get on as I haven't got a Cali to plug it into yet. I've got a room full of other stuff though.

But only stuff I need

No probs Mike. Give me a nudge next weekend if I haven't posted an update.
