There have been a few posts regarding the use of the 5V cigarette plug chargers for mobile devices. One issue is that some of these generate interference in radios and other electronics.
The fact is they do.
Some are better made and better filtered than others.
I recently diagnosed an issue that was directly related to a noisy cheap 5V adapter (thankfully not in my airplane).

I still like the convenience and flexibility of using a 5V cigarette plug adapter but I now keep "the good one" in the plane.
