Default LS 430 Refrigerator Option

Anyone have this option, or done a retrofit? I assume they are a (Peiter device- the reverse of a thermocouple) Thermoelectric Cooler?

Is there a wiring harness connector somewhere to plug into in the trunk? Amp draw/Electrical specification?

thanks in advance

I've got it... it comes in the LS430 Ultra package. It's not a true fridge, more of a cold box. The Ultra has a second rear AC unit that provides AC for the rear but also funnels into the cold box. It doesn't run when the car is turned off.

I was surprised how cold drinks got though when I put some in and left it on for a longish drive.

Just use the trunk in the winter , lol. I'm not sure... I don't find it especially useful as you can't get to it easily from the front of the car.

Your probably right.. I'm not a chauffer and its not driver accessable, so similar utility as a tit on a bull for me. Now if the second glove box was a cooler....
