I want to install a couple of cigar lighters in the boot of my IS300 for charging my camera flash batteries and stuff while Im travelling. Why the boot? well its just easier to put them back there so they dont clog up the inside of the car while im travelling. My other halfs RAV 4 has one already and 2 in the cabin which is very useful. I normally have the satnav plugged in the cabin and would find one or two more in the boot very useful.

Anyone done this yet, if so do you have pics?

cheers

have done it in an is200 - ran a lead via a relay connected to the on ignition wire so it will only be live when the engine is running.

found a push fit socket and drilled a hole into one of the side panels - quite easy to do

as far as i know the sports cross comes with one

i wonder if the wiring might allready be there ??

there is a loose plug somewhere in the boot but i couldnt get any voltage out of it

Sign of the times... my wifes new car came with 12v sockets instead of a cigarette lighter....

I'll take a look down there, thanks for the info. I dont know why they didnt fit one in there in the first place, they are very useful specially when Im touring and taking photos.
