Additional power outlet
 
I am trying to add another power outlet for my radar . I don't leave it out all the time unless i am traveling. Unfortunately we have our outlet on opposite side of the car wish we had another one under the steering wheel area . Would i just tap into the wires from the other plug and do the wiring from there or do i need some sort of fuse ? I am already using the one in the center console for my cell phone and the one on the passenger side for my gf laptop.

I wired one over on the Drivers kick plate using a fuse tap off the Cigarette plug main fuse. I have the actual socket zip tied up to the left and can just plug in there.... The way I have it, it's sort of a pseudo hardwire, with a lead run up to the mirror, all out of sight.

I think there's plenty. The one in the center console I mainly use for my cellphone. The one under the dash, I use for the radar. I do have one of those splitters but I am figuring out how to mount it first.

Hey modshack - think you could point us to parts and about how much work is done to get the wire out of there?

Doh! Found the extra one. Didn't know the cup holder in the console comes out. :shakes head:

A cool feature with that console cover is that there's a little notch to run the cord when you close the cover.
