    Hello,

    I have an '08 Prerunner SR5 DC with the 4.0. I only have 2 power outlets in the lower section of the dash. I am interested in installing a 12v power outlet in the little plastic square to the right of the radio & one in the plastic panel behind the center console. Is there a power wire that I can tap to supply power to these 2 outlets & not damage anything or do I have to find a power source in the fuse block under the dash on the drivers side?

    Also, if anyone is running a similiar set up aftermarket radio, do you have any ideas on what to put in that space?

    Thanks:D

    now for the center console you will probably have to run a power wire to it. I dont there is anything down that way

    Have you considered tapping off of one of the wires for the existing plugs? :D
