Need a power feed to run cigaratte lighter in rear passenger area. Where is the best place to get it.
Also is there a socket in the boot area?
Thanks

From the existing cigarette lighter supply in the front perhaps. Unlikely both would be used at once so supply+ fusing wouldn't be an issue. Be aware they draw quite bit of current so pretty robust cabling required. See the existing lighter cable as a guide.

Thanks, Is it easy to remove the centre console to locate cables?
Is there a "how to" on this?
