Much to my dismay, I noticed the lack of a 12-volt cigarette lighter (or it's 24-volt equivalent) anywhere to be found. (am I just not looking in the right place?) What are the options here? How difficult and/or expensive would it be to have one of these installed? The avionics are relatively new, but I prefer to use my Garmin 396 for weather, XM, etc. and would really like to have a place to plug it in. We'll probably have the plane in the shop soon for a Garmin 430 installation. Between this issue and the annoying chart clip holder on the yoke, it sure isn't very compatible with portable GPS equipment. :( --Dan Back to top Newps Guest Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2007 2:39 am    Post subject: Re: Power Supply in 98 C182S My 296 says it operates on 11-35 volts.

There is plenty of room on the panel to install one (or better yet, two), just like the older models. I've seen this done on several aircraft. Happy Flying!

I would think that it should, and if it does, the adapter for cigarette plugs will be a lot cheaper than having one installed. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply.

Well, I didn't see that, but I was looking on the right side, mainly. I'll have to check on the center panel. Does anyone know definatively if late 90s 182s have this connector? I suppose I can look in the manual... We haven't finalized purchase of the aircraft yet, but having flown Pipers for about 95% of my flight time to date, the downward visibility and shade offered by the high wing were definate pluses.

We'll probably have the plane in the shop soon for a Garmin 430 installation. Have the avionics shop install a 4-pin connector to power the 396, connect the audio output from the 396 to the audio panel, and the flight plan output from the 430 to the 396. That's what I have (except mine's a GNS480). They made up a special cable for the 396. One plug/cable does it all, no cables dangling all over the cockpit.

I usually fly 172s because of the price and availibility in my area, but the 182 is actually my preference. I think you might find that high wing a bit addictive, I have.

I believe it was optional. My flying club had a fleet of 3 C172S's ranging from 2000-2002 model year, and two of them had the 4-pin ARINC plug and one did not. Coincidently (or not?) the one without the 4- pin plug was the one with the single (rather than dual) axis KAP-140 and was also the oldest of the 3 (model year 2000). Quote: I suppose I can look in the manual... I don't think the manual will tell you, especially if it was optional equipment. Why not just ask the seller?

I can imagine scenarios where the extra wiring-up of 'cigarette lighters' is casually seen as just cosmetic and results in an in flight fire. == Chris Glur.
