Headrest Power Inverter

P31609_500

From the website:

    Back Seat Power Inverter

    Headrest Powerworks™ Power Inverter converts DC power from 12v car lighter or 12v power port into 110 AC power for operating or charging portable electronic devices, including cell phones, laptops, handheld gaming units and portable DVD players on the road.

    Features grounded AC outlet/cover, LED light, replaceable fuse, Velcro straps to attach to headrest back, and reset button.

.................

With two outlets as pictured up top, $59.98.

With one outlet — and 99+% certainty that you'll regret not opting for the two-outlet version — $49.98.

And I say again: why are we forced to go through these idiotstick contortions with aftermarket add-ons instead of simply being able to plug into regular power outlets at every seat?

...and that teensy little "Oliver Stone" part of my primative monkey brain wonders if there might just be some minor conspiracy at work here. Manufacturing and marketing power inverters and "cigarette lighter" chargers for every gizmo known to man is probably a pretty big bidness.

Maybe "big electronics" is in cahoots with "big oil" in a insidious plot to keep us all hopelessly reliant upon all those blister-pack-bound whatzits and doodads for the obsolete car power port.

Crazy? Maybe not so much. Think about it... (Feature me with a wide-eyed "Oliver Stone-esqe gaze while reading that.)

I'm with you, Joe! The Toyota Matrix has had on-board standard power outlets for several years. It's high time the other automakers get on-board with this idea. As more and more people become more and more mobile- and gadget-dependent, the car must also adapt.
