Hello,

Im trying to see if anyone knows if there are any more AC power outlets in the RDX other then the center console and cigarette lighter, i thought they always put one in the trunk?

Thank you

 

Just 2.

 

Do any of these jacks supply power when the car is off?

 

Um...there are '0' (ie: ZERO) AC outlets in the RDX. The RDX has two DC cigarette lighter sockets - one in the center storage console, and one below the stereo head unit. If you want AC, you'll need to buy an inverter.

Also, neither one provides permanent power when the car is off. They may stay on for a short while or until you open a door (much like the power windows), but they don't stay powered permanently.

 

Ever hear of any hack/mod to keep on the one in the armrest on all the time? This would be for power to my zune so it can wirelessly attach to my home network and sync.

 

What you are looking for would require you to run a Positive 16/18 awg wire from the Battery/fuse box and splice it into your Zunes car adapter, solder or crimp then run the ground wire to the chassis(metal not plastic) and may or may-not be over you level.

The Zune will be powered until the batterys dead (batteries die because of the Amps drawn.) I'd imagine it be slight mAmps but now it's winter I'd try not to stress the battery if it were me.

Let me know if this is what you want.

I'll help you through it if I can. As far as a "Live 12 volt" wire in there under the center console, I dunno. However, I would strongly advise against hacking up a factory harnesses and or factory wiring.

Note to thread: 12v (14.4 volt DC current)
