Sorry, this set of photos have been doing the internet rounds for while. Fire burns up not down and there is a built in dash GPS.

I think the last time I saw these it was supposed to be an iPhone charger.

A friend left her gps attached on the dash all the time - it didn't catch fire, but melted - the plastic was all buckled, and the insides were fused!
