Hello all. I know I own an xD, but I just sold a new xB, and my customer is asking me about getting more power outlets installed. according to my parts manager, it can't be done. But I won't take no for an answer. I've tried searching here, but can't find anything. Can anyone help me out and let me know who will do a power outlet install?

thanks a ton!

 

There is no reason that additional power outlets cannot be added. It would definitely be a custom install, but not very difficult. You can grab 12 volts directly from the battery and purchase an aftermarket power outlet from Radio Shack. I plan on doing this in the next few weeks AND re-wiring the factory outlet since the damn thing shuts off when the ignition is turned off, making it impossible to charge cell phones, etc.

 

I hate the single 12v outlet toyota put in the Scion, my coworkers FJ is just like it.

you can also get those power outlet splitters, that doubles the outlet to two outlets.

 

keep in mind that using a splitter will cut your current (amperage) capability in half.

 

That is a great DIY.

 

This was what I did on my '06 xB by replacing the ashtray...

well, the 08 doesn't have an ash tray. thanks for the tips, though.

 

Nice!

 

im looking for a way to install one too....

a 120v plug to be exact...

 

You'll have to get an inverter. And even then, I'm not sure if it's going to be 110V or 120V.

 

i have a simple inverter that powers my lappy jsut fine. i just want a cleaner method.

 

HEY!!!! That's *MY* DIY..

I did find out one thing.. the power on that comes from the rear hatch light circuit, and it only works when the door is open. DOH! Good for powering a compressor, though

 

Find a clean looking outlet for a wall and route it to a remote location?

 

i forgot all about accelevision

www.accele.com

this is an awesome site for this kind of stuff. look under video acces->video games acces..

 

ne 1 make a 120v plug yet? pics

 

All you need is an inverter and some creativity. Run a fused wire from + on the battery to wherever the inverter is. Then use the output from the inverter and find some kind of outlet that you can flush mount with a plastic interior panel. Done.

 

autozone, walmart, and other local auto stores sell 12v cigarette sockets.. just get a hole saw or a unibit *if you have one that goes big enough* and find a flat piece of plastic with nothing behind it... add as many as you want and run to the ignition harness and connect to the source of your choice, constant, ignition, acc, and fuse it

 

Has anyone done an AC outlet mod? DIY?
