Bob Weir Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Hi all, Owner's manual shows optional accessory power plug in console between cup holder & armrest. Looks like a coin holder is there now. What year & models had this option, that I could get from a salvage yard? Dealer thinks I might need the harness for it. If so, How do I remove the console? [As in hidden screws & clips, apply pressure here while pulling there]. Any ideas where to tap into circuit or is there a plug just waiting for me? The “owner’s manual” says only use a OEM cig lighter, no other chargable devices. Is that correct, as in iPod, cell phone charger etc? Some posts imply there's a fuse that blows due to a continuing draw. Yes/No? Other than Chilton & Hanyes, are there better books for basic repair? I don't intend on R&R major components [motor, trans etc] just a few mods and maintenance. Thanks Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Bob, Subaru's socket is pretty lousy and a few fires and a lot of short circuits have come from it. If you are going to go to the trouble to add one get a good socket from another car. I know the BMW one is fine becuase I have one of those. Heck any GM or Ford should ahve one too. All you need to do is drill a hole for the socket and run a heavy power line and fuse. If it were mine I would pick up power under the hood and run it back, but its your baby.
