With radar detectors, cell phone chargers, Ipod chargers, 12 volt computer adaptors, and portable DVD players. I thought it would be nice to have a 12 volt auxiliary power supply. Knowing there is a blank spot next to the cigarette lighter I thought what perfect location for my aux power. So I went to the auto parts store and purchase the parts. Basically all was needed was the 12 volt socket with black rubber cover, and fuse holder. Next thing I did was remove the radio and radio mounting bracket. Now you can drill into the dash. I tapped into the radio's positive & negative leads for power. Easy job and it looks factory.

 

Nice little DIY for those of us who need two power supplies. Thanks!

Not only good to have the extra power point , it also will fit a power plug correctly. What was Porsche thinking using the larger size on USA cars!

 

Oh man - now my winter project list just got even longer.

That is a neat idea... We NEVER have enough power!
