Default Both 12v ports dont work!

Proud new owner of an 06 gs300 ...

Only thing is neither if the 12v ports work. I tried my v1 and phone charger in both the cig lighter and 12v port in center console with no luck. Any ideas?

Also, do ML package cars read mp3 cd's? I sde the dvd logo but no mp3? Im not tslking burnt regular cdr's......i mean 400 song mp3 format cd's

Check the fuse on 12v aux circuits and no it will not play MP3 discs as you describe.

Yep. Check fuses 11 or 12 in the passenger-side fuse box under the dash.

The second one is inside the center console box on the back with a small cover on it.

^ am I the only one feel that is an odd place to put that 12V port? LOL

And the other 12V is kinda tight against the edge against the middle receiver.

No...I like it there. Keeps the cables in the console when not in use.
