2012 Altitude with 100W Inverter - Adding a 12v Panel nearby

Hi all,

I am thinking of installing a 12v socket or 2 near the 240V outlet on my prado. I am just wondering how to get the rear panel off. Is there any tutorials or pics on showing how its done without breaking any clips etc.. I've set up a dual battery setup and would like to run 6mm twin down to the inverter and the 12v sockets direct off my 2nd battery for camping etc. I've seen the Baintech panel and that looks good but its getting the cable there 1st. Any suggestions?

Don't take the panel off, poke the cable through from next to the 2nd row seats and then pop the cup holder out and use line trimmer cord with the cable attached to route it through to the hole with the 240v plug. I put one above and one below the 240v plug.

Thanks Symo, but I don't think that's going to suit my needs. I'm going to remove the existing wiring from the inverter (make safe) and then connect the inverter up to the baintech panel on the 4 switch thus giving me direct power control to the inverter off the 2nd battery without having to have the ignition on. This is the panel I want to install near the 240V outlet. http://www.baintech.com.au/power-pan...ion-panel-vuce
