12V USB Charger suggestions?

It looks like my current 12V 2A USB charger from my F30 does not fit in the front outlet in my M340.

I don't use this often, but sometimes it can be useful.

Does anyone have a recommendation for something off of Amazon that fits in the weird size for the new G20s?

Are you referring to the USB between the cupholders/near the cigarette lighter? Or in the glovebox?

Sorry, I'm referring to a cigarette lighter to usb charger connector that can be used in the center console next to where the existing usb is.

To provide a secondary usb for charging a juul for instance.

I have same issue. My f30 charger will not power up because it will not fit properly. Luckily there are plenty of USB ports.

I took a chance and ordered this one off of Amazon, works like a charm in the front socket:

I had the same issue with the front 12v socket with several of my adapters. I purchased this one, and it worked. Has a 30w USB-C and an 18w USB-A slot.
