I use the cig lighter jack once in a while for my phone charger.

I use the center console jack for the XM radio reciever.

I threw away the cig lighter the first day I bought it. NO ONE SMOKES in my Lex...

No one should smoke in the Lex period!

I don't even like people who smoke get into the car.. because I don't want it to smell anything like smoke!!!
