Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Since I don't own a telly, I Can not verify for sure. It's universal fit for most plugs. However Advance Auto or other auto parts places usually carry them too.

Pretty sure they are universal, otherwise a bunch of 12V accessories would not work with the car either. (gps charger, additional usb charger, radar chargers, etc)
Kept the one from my old car, but it will not work in the 12 v outlet.

Could by an extender/splitter to test if it works the lighter plugs
could go to your local auto store/walmart, buy the universal size they have and return it right away if it doesn’t fit.
Go to local junkyard/salvage yard and check if they have any Kia’s with lighter plugs.
Most labor intensive route would be to replace the socket for a new set that includes the lighter plug.
They way the auto industry is trending, it seems like they are phasing out sales of newer car models with the lighter plugs.
