connecting a step up inverter

Val

i have purchased a Drok 5v to 12v step up inverter to use as I want to use the cigar lighter to charge my phone on longer trips. But this came with no instructions so I am not sure how to wire it in. Any suggestions?

Google the question that you have

Tried that, no dice. But I would think that it is wired just as the car. Positive (RED) wire to ground.

Does it say it is for positive ground? Be careful or you may not have a phone left after plugging it in. This may help! https://mgaguru.com/mgtech/electric/et207.htm

Very good info, Thank you!

Here's a video that may be helpful. It's based on a model A Ford but provides the setup for using a 6-volt, positive ground system to charge a phone. I was able to follow and connect a socket charger to use in charging my iphone in my Hornet. As demonstrated in the video, about 5 and a half volts is enough for phone charging. Obviously this something to be very careful with so as not to fry a thousand dollar phone.
