BUYER BEWARE: 2nd & 3rd Gen Tacoma In-Cab 120vAC 400W Anytime Power Outlet

I wanted 2 ports, so I ordered this one made by the same company.

Cool. I wanted at least one passthrough to connect to my radio.

 

So I ended up going with the desk-all-in-one-deal from Amazon. If anyone would like to purchase the Toyota dual USB plug and the 120v outlet, please message me. Never even ended up putting them in.

Bump for a quality and well thought out product. For some clarity, if you already did the 400W anytime mod then this will not affect that mod (only redundant). You don't have to undo anything and just plug and play this option. This will allow you to cleanly access the 120AC power from under the center console at the inverter. I went the desktop grommet route with a 3" hole saw. Great tight fit. He has wired the colors like they come on the third gen. What that means is this, the WHITE wire is your HOT and should go to the upper right blade as you look at the three prong with the ground at the bottom...two up one down. The BLUE wire is your NEUTRAL and should go to the upper left blade. The black is still the GROUND and goes to the bottom roundish blade on the AC grommet.

Only piece I am still trying to figure out is how to permanently turn on the 100W/400W inverter switch so I don't have to reach over and turn it on when I start the truck every time. Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

 

Really happy with this mod. Thanks KTJO!

Mounted mine on the back of the middle console:


I just barely missed the bottom protrusion so that didn't need trimming, but I did trim just a tiny bit of the top protrusions. @fatboyfirebass mentioned the top ones are needed, so I left them mostly intact. I'm not necessarily sure that they actually are needed, but why not err on the side of caution?


Right now, it's a very tight pressure fit but I might go back and plastic epoxy it in since plugs are subjected to pushing and pulling. It is really easy to get that back piece of the middle console off without removing anything else. It just pops out!

 

Care to expound on this...

 

Yes...please.

 

Move floor mat, pull from bottom first, then swing it out with the top as the hinge.

 

Yep exactly. There are clips every 2 to 3 inches. Push in at the seems while pulling out working your way up. Don't be afraid to push kind of hard while levering it out with the top as the hinge. There is a lip at the top of that panel that holds it in, so keep on levering until all the clips are undone, then pull it down/away at a 30° or so angle.

You might be able to see some of the clips in this image.

 

Thanks. Didn't realize it could be done without removing the whole console.

 

Any one have a source for the USB port 00016-00225?

Some listings have this part number but show a different port. (No square cover with transparent emblems).

 

Will this plug and play work for the 2020 taco?

 

That looks absolutely Great!!!!! I love it!

 

UPDATE:

Well my vendor has made the test Extension Harnesses for the 5ft and the 10ft. They will be sending them to me with some other testing Harnesses as well as my order of 30 SR5 Power Folding Mirror Harnesses. They will just be the Blue and White Wire. Remember you can ground the Black Wire anywhere on the Truck so that’s not an issue. The Blue and White Wire will always go back to the Harness unless you change it up yourself. Here’s just a quick shot of them.

 

I wouldn’t see why not if you have a plug in the back rear of your truck the inverter should be under your middle console as well. You can check it when you get it or if you have it.

 

I hope you don’t mind but I used your picture on post #2 if you do I can remove but I thought it was a great example to show everyone.

 

I don't mind at all! Quite the compliment, thank you!

 

UPDATE: Have a lookout for some BLACK FRIDAY DEALS on my Threads. I might throw some SPECIALS for a couple of these new products and one older one

You guys have been great to me all year and it’s about time I give back even if it’s a little.
