adding 12 volt accessory plug-- need some help.

Hi Guys,

I just hopped on the group buy for the JDM center console with armrest. Now the fun part, I have a base MT. I know that this console will fit, but I need to either add an aux jack and 12 volt accessory plug or come up with a slick way to cover the two holes that I will have (as you know the base has neither the aux or accessory connections.

Anyone got part numbers for the two pieces and or DIY on the two? I have actually seen a DIY on the AUX audio jack-- what about the power?

ps. I'm a computer guy-- not really a car stero/electrical guy- so make it easy for me if you can.

Thanks

Tbird

as far as power, you can get it from the front fuse box under the driver's
seat. use a add-a-circuit (up to 10A) and pull a wire to the new glove
box. as far as ground, get a volt meter and see if any of those bolts
you use to mount is connected to ground. if not, just wire it up to a
nut/bolt that is.

very easy.

Don't laugh, but add-a circuit-- Thats something I can buy right? I'm going to have an alarm installed when I get the car-- maybe I'll just have them "pre-run" the power for me and when my console comes in, I'll just plug it in.

Tbird-

Anyone have part numbers for the AUX audio jack and AUX power jacks to fit the JDM console?

If you decide to hide the holes rather than fill them, there is black kitchen drawer liner material available that would do a pretty nice job + even keep things in the pocket from making so much noise. Check out your local home center.

Am I the only one reading this thinking "Base Fits DO come with 12v Power outlets in the same spot as the sport and they also come with a place-holder piece that covers the *same* hole as the aux jack hole in the JDM console"?

Just take the pieces out of the existing console and move them.

Nope you're right. I posted this the other day before I actually picked up the car. I'm good to go. Thanks
