I'm leaning towards a 2017 MDX, but would like the option to have a 110V outlet. Could come in handy from time to time, but looks like it only comes with the Entertainment package. Me & the wifey (no kids) don't need that.

Anyone know if it's possible to add that afterwards? Wondering if the wiring harness on a non-Entertainment/non-Advance optioned model would have the connections to add whatever Acura parts are needed for just the outlet/power inverter?.?.?

Or am I just better off looking at aftermarket power inverter options?

Any insight is greatly appreciated.

 

Power Inverter sounds the easiest..

 

I would say aftermarket. Im shoping for 17' as well But want the advanced w captains chairs. I also want the outlet but captains charirs arent avail with entertainment. So i will probably go w aftermarket since it wont be used too often.

 

I remember hyundai used to have this as a stand alone $200 option, I think that is much better than lopping it into a package. Also no ent package with the captains chairs? Why?

 

I asked my salesman, he had no idea.

 

how often do you see the need of a 100v outlet?

how much load are you expecting to put on it?

I carry both a 400w and 150w invertor - the 150w in the center console and 400 in the hatch bottom - for the occasional uses, they're perfectly placed.

In the long run, I'm thinking to buy the rear panel from an ENT model and wire up my own connections in the factory cubby on the console - for now this works

 

Looking for something to occasionally charge electronic devices. Like a laptop, battery charger or similar. Not planning on running any power tools off it. It's a nice to have convenience item. Not a deal breaker if it doesn't exist.

Would prefer it be hidden or integrated for a clean look if possible.
