I would recommend this to a friend Plug for 12V power inside car is poorly designed!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was "forced" to buy this model simply because it was the only option available at the store near me. I can confirm that the plug for the cigarette lighter doesn't work right. Unsure if it's because the spring is too tough, so it doesn't stay plugged in, or if the metallic wings that connect with the barrel of the lighter are too short. Putting pressure on the plug to keep it plugged is a temporary workaround. I'm going to buy a separate plug and replacing the one that was supplied. Can't believe a company didn't test this! Should never have been made this poorly!

I would recommend this to a friend Not happy.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought one and the USB-C port didn’t work. Returned it to Best Buy and got another one. Same thing: USB-C doesn’t work. And this one also has a bad connection on the wiring harness for 12v cigarette lighter outlet. Power to unit cuts out unless the wire is positioned just right at the plug. Have to repeatedly bend the wire to the side of the connector to get power to the unit. As for the USB-C, there is nothing wrong with the cable(s) I used. They work just fine with other devices. I just purchased another different brand from Best Buy and everything on it works like it’s supposed to, including USB-C. I’ll be returning this Cobra to Best Buy also and getting a refund.
