12v outlet/lighter

Get yourself an accessory outlet and put in the rear cubby that the tire iron and jack handle are in. That entire rear trim removes easily and there's a big out-of-the-way flat spot inside the cubby for drilling your mounting hole. Wire it hot (don't forget a fuse, maybe 20A) with good, heavy wiring and a solid ground. Then you've got an extra outlet in the back for all sorts of stuff and a slick install to boot!

awesome. I had just been thinking not too long ago that i wanted to put a 12v and a power inverter in the rear... i guess it was just too early in the morning when i was thinking about the outlet in the dash because i didnt put 2 and 2 together.. great suggestion on the location though!

i will probably end up splicing a wire behind the dash as well, that way i can use any outlet i want

might end up using the stock 12v wire with the power inverter to make sure i dont suck up too much power with it

Joe,
Is there a good hot line nearby for that or would one need to run wire?

[Joe_Black]

I don't believe there's a constant hot back there that's of sufficient capacity to be safely used. I just ran a 14 gauge wire right off the battery (with an inline ATC fuse) and through an existing firewall grommet on back to the cubby alongside existing wiring runs. Be sure to put the fuse near the battery in case your wire gets nicked or pinched over time causing a short.

besure to seal teh grommet so water doesnt get in from it
