I have just bought one of these. It connects to the AC regulator via 2 wires and gives a 12 volt DC supply to the cigar lighter. It can be used for charging phones, sat navs etc. It's just any easy route rather than going full DC....for me anyway. I'm just about to fit it...wont take long...lol.

A 5 pin reg will only give a half wave output so will not give a stable DC without a battery. The mod charger will simply use one similar to this
