Dash Storage

@DaveB Are the footwell 10A outlets cigar plug types? Are they mounted to the center tunnel, or on the "kick panel" in front of the door under the glove box / steering wheel, facing down from under the dash? Do photos exist? I'm wondering where to plug in a radar detector. I have an OBD adaptor but would prefer just using a cigar plug. I'm really surprised there wasn't one, or a variety of USB and 12V power at the bottom of the center console / control panel.

I just watched Ingemar's most recent video (Dimensions, etc.) and he shows the USB ports in the center console but doesn't mention a 12V in there, despite it being mentioned in the PDF Owner's manual (UK version).

They are just sockets attached to the wiring loom.
There are no fixed outlets at all.

I'd seen the wiring loom diagrams but didn't know if there were 12V cigar plugs attached on each side, or what, exactly. Thanks!

A power point in Australia is something you plug a 240V 3 pin plug into.
I assume that isn't what you want so do you want a USB or USB-C, cigarette lighter?
In the footwells on both sides there are 10A outlets prewired that you could easily route up to the dash from behind or beneath.
As USB outlets are limited to 2.5A you could connect 4 to each giving you 8 outlets
If you need more than that then you have too much crap on your dash.

That's what I was planning to do with USB outlets. But what I can't find or am not clear on is will that circuit be live without ignition on or ignition aux.
