AC outlet integration - 5/14/2008 7:30:18 PM    in2pro Posts: 407 Joined: 4/20/2008 From: Austin, Texas Status: offline Has anyone installed an 110v AC outlet into there vehicle? I have the external type but have been thinking about integrating it into the center console and hiding the actual plug(s) behind the drink holder flip down for the back seats… You would think GM would have already started doing this on vehicles with the entertainment centers with AUX / game inputs.

Here is my write-up... maybe it'll help you get some idea of how it needs to be done...

I have a couple of 500watt inverter I picked up at Sams club that should be perfect for the setup. should be enough to run the the Playstation or charge/run the laptop (in reply to EvansBlue) Post #: 3

I think the other point to remember is to put it on a switch so its not running all the time, it has a small fan but keeping the diodes and the fan lit for any amount of time with the ignition off is going to kill the battery quickly..

My install isn't as clean as I would like it to be, if I get my switch panel fixed up sometime soon, I'll have a place to put the switch instead of hiding it at the edge of the console.  And before anyone asks...YES, that 4 gauge wire does have a fuse on it! _____________________________ In Obama''s new Nation, you pledge with your hand over your crotch instead of your chest.
