Yeah, I made a cigarette lighter charger for my ipod, It's pretty easy, though I had to find a voltage regulator that would charge at a decent rate.

damn i didnt think about using an actual lighter housing and implementing 1 or 2 usb ports.. i just bought one off ebay.. didnt even think to build one.

i wanna build one to give as a present.. did you follow a tutorial or something?

	unfortunately, it's a fact that there exists *"an inconveinient truth".* Get out of the box, then recycle it.
