Other than the airline adapter that Apple sells (which doesnt work plugged to my 12V socket) does anyone know of another solution for a MbPro with a Mag Safe Adapter

That's really all the Mikegyver one is; he essentially solders on a female connector to the magsafe cable that matches with one of the standard male plugs that comes with the Kensington brick, nothing more.
That, btw, is the weak point in the Mikegyver one - I've had two fail at the female plug he put on. Next time I'll do it myself.
