I am wanting to add some USB ports to my car. I was planning on adding this guy into the center blank of the console http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01..._bw_g107_i3_sh

and I was am wanting to add http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01..._bw_g107_i2_sh to the blank inside the console and connect it to the stereo so that we have easy access to switch from Ipod to iphone etc...

My question is that if I add both of these to the 12v line that powers the cig lighter, am I in any danger of overloading the circuit? I know little of electronics, but I am wanting to learn more.

How many amps is that 12v circuit rated for?

I was also hoping to add some seat warmers in the near future to the same line, but I think I may be overdoing it?

The cigarette lighter circuit is fused at 10 amps. I'm not sure what your USB adapters will draw but sounds OK.
That is not enough, though, for seat heaters unless you're only using it to activate a relay getting power from elsewhere.
 
tried to click on both your amazon links but they don't work. If its the same usb one that i have the most it will pull is 2.1 amps.

Hmm.. Not sure why they didn't work. Try this one.

I was wanting to do the one with the Charge and audio ports inside the console, and do the one that has two charging ports in the center blank of the console.

So if the most that these will draw is about 2 amps each, I should be OK?
