3rd row usb

Hi

Wish to sort out iPad connections for my grandkids in the 3rd row

Know I’ve seen some piccies but can I find them can I hell

Assume the easiest way is to connect to the boots 12v outlet point , might as well do both sides so my grand son and grand daughter each have there own power point , would that be ok to do running both sides off that one outlet plse

Plus I’m pretty sure there no power point in the middle row

Wish to fit the usb points in the boot side panel in the tray bit , know there’s no point fitting the headphone module as none of the wiring is there and mine is the base model

Thks so much Thumbs Up

have you seen some of the "power panels" folks have made from the near-side cubby cover ? IIRC Andy Foster was one of the folks doing this.

Hi

Yes thks , seen the side panels ones, it’s the top panel ones I’ve seen somewhere but for the life of me can’t find them

Also a daft question if i may please , is there such a thing where a usb gauge can automatically change its voltage according to what’s plugged in plse

Noticed a lot of then are 5v 1.2 and 2.1 amps

Where the top of the side boot locker I thought of putting 2 x usb gauges either side, think they would only need power points

Know mine being a base model haven’t got the Hi line radio so no point doing the headphone mod etc

Have upgraded the 3rd row lights to Led , have wondered about dvds in the headrests for movies but don’t know what kind of player I would need , would be good if a simple PlayStation worked Whistle

Thks again Thumbs Up

Just get the highest output you can, which is 12 watts or 2.4 amps. A device will only ever draw what it needs, or its smart capabilities will permit. All are 5 volt. This would do it.

I guess the other radical solution would be to talk to them and interact with each other.

as above somewhere ... all 5V, power varies but your kit takes what it needs anyway.

... but you could use the pop-out panels of those headphone locations to fix your USB points. Very Happy

alternative spot would be inside the cup-holders so you can revert it to standard easily if you ever wish to,

Thks, good thought , just finished refitting the scuttle panel and A trim, heated jets all done and working so can start looking into this

Will have a look on lrcat to see what different ones there are

Also don’t know what wiring is there at the back of the centre console to accept a standard 12 v outlet

For the life of me still can’t find pics of the headphone and retrofitted usb points in the side lockers

Thks again and am so grateful Thumbs Up

Yeah just connect them up to the rear power point.

Middle row should have power outlet below vents. Or the higher spec ones did. Was under a flap next to aux in.
