Hi, FYI
Maybe obvious (but not enough for manufacturers of the compressor to indicate in their sales info) but some/all tyre compressors draw too large a current to use the DIN aux socket although they come with a DIN plug.
Never thought to check the power/current etc and assumed when I bought it if it had the DIN plug on it would work out the box.
Glad I checked it before needing it on the road side as it was bought just as part of a puncture repair kit and not to by used at home.
Not a big problem I rewired it to connect to an Optimate style SAE71 battery lead, found cheap on on FFX.co.uk tool site - Sealey for a solar charger - just check polarity !
