G'Day all, I have an '07 SR and was looking behind the behind the panel where the aux power socket goes on the SR5 models. It appears to have the wiring and plug there for the power socket just taped up. Was wondering if anyone knows if I get a power socket will it just plug in and work.
Thanks in advance.

if the wiring is there , i cant see a reason why it shouldnt. it is the same with the rear speakers, there is wiring for it in the sr but just no speakers...Glenn

KTM,
Put a multi meter on the wire and see if you have 12v when the key is turned on/acc. If yes, then you have your answer.

Live dangerously..... put your tounge on it like a 9V battery as a kid....

If there is no power there might pay to check if the fuse is removed also.

Where is the SR5 aux power socket?

below the radio to the left of the ash tray. it is in line with the cigerette lighter but on the oppisite side...Glenn

Thanks fellas, there is a fuse in there and it has power at the fuse but no power at the plug. I might have to get someone that knows more than me about this stuff to have a look.

Also if you are keen there is a light globe socket in the sr taped to the wiring loom just waiting for a 20c green colour globe and inserting in the top of the ash tray. And when you have the uhf installed under the ash tray with the tray removed you get a great light that lights up the counsel. The globe is certainly worth the extra 8 grand on the sr5 also the wiring for the aux socket is only thick enough for to run a phone charger, wire it direct from the second battery with 6 or 8mm cable for good current flow for inverters and fridges

Time waster is right... The wiring for the "AUX" power socket is very poor. I have completely rewired mine straight from the AUX Battery, It has power all the time and wont flatten the start battery in any case... Make sure you fuse the line as close to the power source as you can to prevent any accidents ... Cheers TOMUCH

Jeff Quinn,

Your a funny buggar I tell you.

The dark side is strong with you.


My tounge still rings from one too many experiments with 9V batteries as a youngster.

Good tips on the Aux socket fellas, I did not realise how poor the wiring was. I'll sort it out when I install my GPS/stereo unit.

Cheers

Was wondering how to get to the wiring on the aux socket( how do I remove the plastic facia surround)
Thanks

I think I just removed the glove box (it just pulls off)and could just reach it. Rewired back to my Aux Battery. It would be very early in my buildup.

Thanks VMN how does the socket come out, is it a clip or does it unscrew??

Dunno mate I have an SR which does not hve the aux so I stuck in a heavy duty marine socket. Get it from BCF

No worries.... Anyone else know how you take it out?

which socket ? the power acc socket.. ?? its simple.. you remove the entire plastic cover plate (with demister / cig lighter etc on it), then there is a normal white plastic clip on the back of the power socket.. press it in and pull it off..

is that what you mean ?

Steve

here you go.. i just went out and took a couple of photos for you.. to remove the panel (i 'think' thats what you're having trouble with ?)...



so to remove, all i do is turn truck off, then simply take the cig lighter out and stick your thumbs in both sockets and pull back towards you..

and out she comes..



make sure when you're putting it back in that you line the clips up though, ive seen MANY trucks with bent and broken clips..

Hope that helps..

Steve

Steve.... Thanks that's exactly what I wanted to know.... Cheers

I have an 05 Sr... I want to add the auxiliary outlet purely for device charging. Does anybody know where to get the auxiliary socket with the correct connection for the plug that is taped behind the dash?
