Default Quick RC 350 F Sport Question

Hi All,

Quick question to you RC 350 owners, how many 12V outlets does this car have? I tried google/lexus manual/lexus brochure and I can only find one. I physically saw one today at the LA Auto show but I could only find one 12V outlet in the center console.

Does this car only have one 12V outlet? Is there a second one or more hidden somewhere? On my current car, I have two outlets, one to run my dash cam and one to run my radar detector.

Thanks in advance for helping me answer this.

It only has one in the center console. I have my detector hard wired (Blend Mount) into the mirror.

There seems to be very little demand for 12v outlets these days. I plug an adapter into mine with 2 usb outlets to charge ipod, ipads, iphones, etc., even though there are two USB outlets in there also (those connect to the audio system and you can browse, select and play audio from devices (even USB memory sticks) plugged into those outlets. If you want more 12 volt outlets, (CB Radio?) you can get a 2 on 1 splitter at any Radio Shack that you can still find open.

My guess is the 12 Volt outlet with a USB adapter has a better wattage/amperage output than the 2 USB's to drive more demanding hardware. Charging phones seems to be a problem sometimes with a USB direct. At best they are slower to charge a device.
