Show us your center console power outlet installs (2 Viewers)

[Chris FJ80]

I'm getting ready to install power outlets in the rear of my center console.

My current plan is to install, from left to right, Blue Sea dual USB port, Toyota OEM 110V, Blue Sea 12VDC (cig lighter style) outlet.

But before I start cutting into my console plastic I wanted to see what others have done.

Search has shown me the following, ten installs but wanted to see if anyone else has some OEM-looking installs to share.

Thanks in advance

Damn, none of mine made the list?!

Did I miss? I know you have the four great threads on dual battery, inverter, outlets in the front part of the center console, but did not find any on the rear of the center console... give us some links that I missed!

Oh JUST the rear? Got it. I just added dual USB to my rear cup holder. I'll take pics in the morning. No write up, sorry.

No wonder you keep spilling your venti lattes

Right?!

Not super OEM, but I added an inverter, 12v, and a switched 12 volt display to the rear of the console.

What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

Nice. Thanks for sharing

This is what I did with just one outlet that I used to charge my phone and connect it to my headunit. I suppose you could get more in that place up and down, but I just had a bed of coins and carpet that I set my phone on.

 

[Chris FJ80]

Great idea. Thanks for posting!

I added USBs and 12V power ports to the front console and 12V power ports and a 400W 110AC inverter to the rear of the console.

The inverter is where the CD changer on the LX used to be and the auxiliary fuse panel that feeds everything is mounted where the original subwoofer was located in front of the center console. The old speaker grill is easily removed to access the fuse block.

Cool install!

The cupholders are from a mud vendor. Don't recall which one. I drilled mine out to accommodate a missing screw. I added the poly foam to keep the noise down. I then added the Blue Sea USB charge ports and wired it using my own Wits' End QuickDisconnect Metri-packs.

 

[Chris FJ80]

Thanks. Nice concept!

 

[Chris FJ80]

Now I am thinking about cupholders too. This is getting more complicated...[emoji3]

Like you I had to make my console fit my needs. Here's mine. Added led's in the power outlets, led in the console, additional fuses behind the changer door, and the invertor in mounted where the changer was. 4ga power wire coming from my secondary battery. All wiring is on plugs so I can quickly remove the console for service.

I had seen this before and the light coming out of the 12V sockets caught my eye. So you added LEDs inside the sockets? Could you share a close up pic of where exactly you installed the LEDs?

Put an old one in. Nothing special, was supposed to be temporary but has stuck now for a while. Trimmed it out with some plastic my wife uses for her badge business.
