Jim,

Why are you so adverse to the cigarette lighter chargers ? How great is the chance that charging through the wiring harness will fry something due to a short ? Why would Porsche choose to offer this option as part of their tequipment if there is such an inherent risk ( aside from simplicity ) ?

Thanks,
