Extra 12VOutlet

[jgray1978]

I am trying to determine the best solution to the shortage of 12V outlets. I've seen where someone mounted a 2-outlet deal in the glove box but I'd like to mount a couple of outlets recessed in the media compartment about the glove box. Has anyone attempted this or know what kind of clearance is beyond that compartment?

I changed my cabin air filter and looks like there plenty of room. Or you can check yourself. No tools required just move the plastic retainers.

Yea, I felt around in the glove box and think that I have plenty of room and easy access to the back side.

If you remove the glove box you'll be able to get an idea of what kind of room you have back there. Open the glove box, squeeze the sides in so the bump stops clear and it pops right out

I thought about that compartment for my add on but opted to keep things hidden

Problem solved.

I bought these:
USB
12V

I had to shave two sides flat on each to get them to fit.

Then I probed circuits, drilled, mounted, and wired. Currently I have the add-a-fuse in a constant 12V circuit but may move it to an ignition controlled one at some point.

I've got a 12V as well as a 2.1A and 1A USB charging ports. I've also got a cable port hole. I've got another USB that I am installing in the console in the back for my kids to charge.

Great ideas

If anyone asks...The cable port hole if my plausible excuse for drilling a hole without careful examination of what might be behind it...like a support bracket...

Nice clean install. I was in a rush and went with what the local parts store had on the shelf. Definitely more factory look on yours

Thank you.

any chance any of you have installed a 12v in the trunk?

Yeah, I'd love to see if I could get one in the trunk or backseat area.
