The post refers to UK, but as my new X5 is built in Spartanburg maybe the folks in the States have a similar problem.

Having had a Nextbase dash cam in my other car I thought I would choose this again as it has been a reliable model and does what it says on the tin, for a reasonable price £50. So fitted it to the X5 and neatly tucked the wire behind the trim down to the cig lighter, using this rather than hard wire, only to find that the plug doesn't fit evenly, you have to move it around, and its a tight fit, and will only power up if I press and hold it at a certain angle. So not plug and forget.

So my question is, are there American spec cig lighters that get fitted to European models ? are there generic spec holders or should it just be used for a cigarette lighter ? Anyone else had this problem ?
