12V power outlet. Please help !!!!
Hello All.
I'm trying to find 12V power outlet in my 2014 IS250. I have searched all interior and could not locate it anywhere. Do you guys know where it is ?
Thanks.

I just use a two, three, or four way 12V socket adaptor etc, to power the front and rear dashcams simultaneously.

Drawing directly from the car's lead acid battery, or the fuse box, can deliver a maximum output of something like 12V @ 7 Amps = 84 Watts, due to the natural internal resistance inside the PbSO4 battery.
The cigarette lighter socket in the car can normally deliver a maximum output of 12V at only 5 Amps = 60 Watts - if I'm not wrong.
Apparently, each single channel dashcam runs at only 5V and less than 0.5 Amps maximum draw, ie 2.5 Watts.
Thus two single channel dashcams runs at 5V and less than 1 Amp maximum draw, ie 5 Watts.
So it should be safe.

Thanks! This seems like the easiest way to go. I'll look into buying something like this.
And just to be sure, the 12v port only works when ignition is on... so when I park my car, the dash cam will not be powered? Unless it has its own power source..?

When you turn the ignition off, your dashcam will power off.

which fuse to replace for 12v power socket
If you blow your 12v socket fuse.....Can you tell me which fuse should be replaced ? Ive changed the p/outlet no.1 fuse which is a 15a but still no power, i also had the socket replaced with no luck.
