TuneBase FM still rotates.
Solution - Check to see if the power outlet of your car rotates in its socket. If so, please consult
your car manufacturer.

cigarette-lighter adapter into the car’s power outlet.
Solution
- Please use a clean and empty table for disassembly. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO THIS
IN THE CAR. Use pliers to loosen the nut at the end of the cigarette-lighter adapter slightly.
It is not necessary to unscrew the entire nut. Move the friction washer back into centered
position. Use pliers to tighten the nut firmly.
