Canadian F36 12V power socket

GC4UrMom · 09-23-2016, 08:05 AM

For those who have a F36 (2016 or 2017), did you find the 12V socket under the passenger seat to hook up your dash cam? I check mine and don't see it. Do we get one or was a certain package required?

I don't think any of the Canadian cars have it :\
My car has every possible package (including smokers, heh), and it only has the one power outlet in the ash tray. The USB port under the armrest is for my music, and wouldn't quick charge anyway.
I wish I had another 12v port in this car, but instead I bought a dual usb port quick charger, so that I can charge mine and my wife's phones at the same time.

There is a DIY to install one. There is space for it.
