You mean like a plug you can use? I think some of the veradas had a socket in the centre console. Otherwise, the ciggarette lighter socket is 12V and there are plenty of 12V wires you can hook in to behind the dash.

What do you need it for?

when i go to race track - useful if you want to hook up an air compressor etc

Always used the cigarette lighter socket for that myself. Not sure what size fuse it's got on it, but it's been fine for a small compressor to reinflate tyres after a drag meeting.

Iirc the cigarette lighter is either 15A and 25A, can never remember. If you wanted to add another 12V socket, run completely new wire rated at least 25A with fuse. Not sure if the fuse box can cope though, if not run the wire from the battery. Oh and a word of warning, if you intend to have one of those emergency battery jump packs connected to charge it, use a diode other wise you will have all sorts of strange problems.

umm, the 12v accessories outlet in the TL's is essentially a cigarette lighter socket just without the heating element plug.
