What would you use this for? Does it come standard in all RX's?
Thanks

It is not standard but is good to re-charge your laptop or power your laptop . The one on my GX was used once..

My neighbor has an 04 RX-330 with rear facing headrest displays - and an X-Box vid game hooked up for the kiddies! 115vac

My RX300 doesn't have a 120V outlet, so I use a 200W power converter.

I hook up a HEPA room air filter since the cabin filter isn't HEPA rated. Also good for hooking up portable TV/DVD, laptop and digital camcorder battery, toaster, etc. during camping trip.

Too bad hair dryer and microwave oven won't work.

The 04 RX330 has this? Where is it? I use an inverter too, installed under the seat.

I know the Toyota MATRIX has one built in, but are you sure the RX-330 does?

Open the back door (hatch). On the right hand side above the tire well is a plug. It might have a cover on it - so you might not see it right away.

Then on the dash - left hand side right below where the button to open the fuel door release is located, is a button to turn on the AC plug in the trunk.

Didn't you get a manual with your car?? If you didn't - get one!

Nah my 2004 doesn't have this. Just dummy plates in those 2 locations. It must be an option that comes with something else. I have just about every option except the tow hitch, dvd entertainment system, and laser cruise control, so im surprised its not there.

Post 115 Vac

The 115 v converter is a part of the RSES package, seemingly designed to power a game system, since it also includes A/V inputs. I assume that on-off switch is the "parental control". If you need 115 v service, try an aftermarket inverter or wire one in yourself. You'll find lots of uses for it - other than games . . .
