Where is the cigarette lighter socket in the Civic?

The cigarette lighter socket in the Civic is located under the center console, to the right of the driver. The cigarette lighter only works when the ignition switch is turned on. Improper use may cause serious injury or fire. Here are specific details about the cigarette lighter: 1. Brief Introduction: The cigarette lighter is a device in a car. Traditionally, it draws power from the car's electrical system to heat a metal heating element, providing a flame for lighting cigarettes. With the development of automobiles and changing needs, the cigarette lighter socket can often be configured with a car inverter to charge mobile electronic devices. The central spring-loaded contact is the positive pole, while the side clips are the negative poles. The power is directly connected to the car battery, with the same current and power as the battery. 2. Working Principle: Besides lighting cigarettes, the car cigarette lighter can also be equipped with a car inverter, converting the car's 12V, 24V, or 48V DC power into 220V/50Hz AC power for use with common electrical appliances.

How to Duplicate a Car Key Without the Original Key?

To duplicate a car key without the original key, you can take your vehicle documents and personal ID to a 4S shop or a repair station.

Spare Key: Usually, cars come with two keys, one for regular use and the other as a spare. When the regular key is lost, the spare key can be used to open the car door normally. 2. Anti-theft Code: Each car has a built-in anti-theft code. The reading coil of the car ignition lock cylinder can read the chip of the key to obtain the fixed anti-theft code. At the same time, it erases the original key information read, making the lost key an illegal key.
