The manual shows a front auxiliary power outlet roughly underneath the starter button, but there's not one there in our S. Other than the one in the armrest, I'm not finding one in the front of the car. Am I missing something?

I really don't want to use the one in the armrest since there's no pass-through, and hardwiring is out of the question since it's my wife's car and I'll only be using the radar detector a few times a year on road trips. Help!

me neither, but early pre-production pics like this show it had the 12volt. surely it can be hardwired.

Yep...hardwiring is too invasive for the minimal use it would get, though. I'd rather just plug an extender in the outlet on the rear of the console when we take road trips.

One small item that I wish were included somewhere in front cabin area would be just a normal 110v power plug. My 2007 4 Runner has one in bottom of center console box and it has been enormously useful over the years.b

I have this same concern. I need to connect my radar detector

I noticed on my order configuration is says "DELETED SMOKERS PACKAGE" - maybe that would have had a plug/cigarette lighter up front. My gut feel is that I will eventually have some type of plug hard wired after market. If I don't go with built in radar detector I am not going to stretch a cord from center console to windshield.

Any chance of resurrecting this thread? I need a hot outlet in the cargo compartment. It bothers me the outlet powers off shortly after the vehicle is turned off.
Does anyone have photos/directions of installing a hot outlet from the fuse compartment?

Thanks,
Brian

So is the forward power outlet hidden or something, or am I just overlooking it (completely possible!)? I cannot find the one marked at the top of this diagram in the manual either. Surely they don't only give us 1 power outlet (under the armrest) for the whole front cabin?

I have a 12v aux socket in my arm rest bin

If your car is equipped with a cigarette lighter you can use this.

So the consensus is that the manual is incorrect, and there is only 1 power outlet for the whole front cabin (under the armrest inside the center console/tunnel), unless one has a "smoker's package"? I definitely don't have the one under the Start/Stop Engine button (but maybe the wiring is still there somewhere?).

It’s not hard to add an extra socket.
