I'm referring to the power outlet in the boot here...ahem. I want to see this as an asset ( ), but I can't think of any uses besides charging the extra gadget or so. But, I usually have them up front.

 

I have a power converter I plug into the rear 12v. That way I can charge camera batteries as I drive. I'd rather have the power converter out of site, so I choose not to charge it in the front (no need for unncecessary visible clutter).

 

I use it to power a cooler I bought that either keeps things cold or hot.

 

I don't have one. Mine's just an old antiquated 03 model. Damn the luck, but if I had one....

 

I use it to store this little black plastic cap that came with the car.

 

>>I use it to power a cooler I bought that either keeps things cold or hot.

Sounds pretty cool. Do you have a link to such an item? Keeping things cool seems like it would take a lot of power.

 

>>I don't have one. Mine's just an old antiquated 03 model. Damn the luck, but if I had one....

The really old ones ('02 like mine) have that oulet too. It was just a passing back in '03.

lol

 

I used mine to power my infinity basslink.Works great.

Different sizes to choose from: IglooCoolers.com

 

I use mine when I travel with my daughter, I plug the laptop in for the road trips and let her watch DVD's on the laptop. It stays powered and keeps her from asking "ARE WE THERE YET?"

 

Where is it? I have yet to see it!

 

>>Where is it? I have yet to see it!
It's on 2002's
It's not on 2003's
and
I'm not sure.... if it's now on 2004's

If it's there...as you are standing behind the car ...looking into the boot..it's in the left side just aboove the compartment for the tools.

Peace,

I own a 2002 MCS w/ alot of stuff on it.

 

I plug my radar detector in... i got a 12 foot cord with my detector and i have the wire hid all the way till it hits the dash....

 

since im using the front to power my ipod,i moved my cigarette lighter back there and if im carrying some illigals across the border in my boot they can have a smoke.

 

I use mine in the mornings when I'm not quite awake yet,I just pop the boot and stick my tounge in it for a few seconds,helps charge me up for the day!

 

I use it for my air compressor on Autocross weekends.

Is there a kit available for purchase to put one into my '03? I have no life or death need for it now, but it'd be nice to know it's available if I do find a need for one (the cooler or radar detector sounds good already)

The outlet is back for 2004

 

>>The outlet is back for 2004

is it? any O4 owners to verify???

or is this another standard item for 04 that will be installed later on...ie the 3 spoke wheel, bluetooth, etc

yes I can confirm it is back for 04.
(and that's probably also why rrypma started this thread)
