Just acquired a KDJ120 Grande. We got this to take over the touring/camping/towing duties from my tired HZJ80 and to replace the wifes old ford territory as a daily driver.
one of the things all vehicles lack in the modern age of electronic gadgetry is sufficient charging outlets for the rear spaces. With 3 rather argumentative kids who usually neglect to charge their devices ready for a trip and fight to no end over the (usually) 1 charging cord i want to provide them a point each.
i had a quick look at the prado yesterday morning and in the second row, i didn't see any places that jump out as a good spot to install a usb socket without sacrificing the good door trims, except for possibly the pointlessly included ashtrays in the door (seriously, who the f#%@ smokes in cars anyway) where i thought I could run a cable to the ashtray and fit a narva dual usb socket to just under the lid so it could be hidden from view with the lid shut. Any thoughts on this? The cente seat space is a little trickier as the air con controls are at the back of the centre console/ fridge.
The 3rd row is easier as there are pockets and such that can hold a usb socket. And the trim damage/alterations are never as concerning in the cargo spaces.
any space i decide to use I'd prefer that any cords and such could be quickly and easily put out of the way.
