Question Cigarette lighter adapter with USB ports ...

Since our 2018 RX 350 only has 2 USB ports buried in the center console armrest storage, I'm trying to add in couple of USB ports up front by the cigarette lighter area. There are a number of aftermarket adapters that plug in the cigarette lighter hole that converts to 1 to 2 USB ports but the price varies from 99 cents to about $27 available from eBay to Amazon. Has anyone tried these adapters on your RX? If so, what's your experience and which one do you recommend? Thanks.

We've got a bunch of Anker products - AC and DC USB chargers, Bluetooth speakers, etc. So far, quality has been excellent. I no longer buy other brands if I can get what I need from Anker. Finding Anker was like finding a unicorn.

Thank you very much for your suggestion. Ordered it from Amazon and received it yesterday. It works like a charm. In fact Anker has come out with a newer model to replace the one you mentioned. The old one is $8.99, new is $9.99. Thanks again.

No, I have an Android LG phone. Are you saying this charger only works with iPhone for quick charges?

it will charge it, but not at a "fast charge" it will be a standard rate of charge.
you will have to check your model to see if fast charging is an option on your phone. my phones for at least the last 4 years have had that option.
