10A wire in centre console?

Can anyone suggest a wire somewhere in the centre console and that might have a bit of spare capacity - ignition-switched if possible?

The ones to the front/rear cigarette-lighter look a bit weedy to me.

Thanks,

Hugh

cigarette ones are the only ones I can think of

I think the fridge connector could be used for permeant 12v

Just a query Andy but if the fridge connector was permanent live wouldn't this mean you could leave it on, thus flattening your battery? I'd have thought it was ignition switched. Robin

I haven't done it myself but how difficult would it be to run your own wire back to the glove box fuse box (under the carpet edge Question and then use a piggy back fuse on perhaps the horn fuse in there??? Robin

That could be a cunning plan, Eaters... Thumbs Up

My tablet PC, which has a 12 V charger stating 6 A. The 'fridge connector is probably the way to go, though I will need to unwrap the loom to get enough wire to connect to - and, firstly, check it has power to it (before I find it needs a CCF change to activate it!). I have to assume the cigarette-lighter outlets aren't up to it and/or in use (they usually are).

It’s 15A per power outlet, so that is
Plenty. Connect to the wires under it.

Not sure if it helps but the fridge stays powered on after ignition is switched off but only for a few minutes, then it turns off so I don't know if that means it has 12v permanent live feed or not.
As stated previously, otherwise it would flatten the battery. 2016 RRS SVR Estoril Blue

If we all point our RR's in the same direction and accelerate at the same time can we turn back time?
