XC90 power inverter how to..

[gshadow325]

So you want/need a power inverter in your XC90. You were wondering what a good spot would be. It had to be a easy thing to do right?

Well here it is.

Parts 150watt inverter just to power a PS3 in the car with AV inputs on the front panel



Mine is in the passenger side compartment access panel.



This is what it looks like removed out of the car



I took the panel and turned it over and cut a recangle hole out of the insulation material like this



then i cut the four tabs off of the vent to get this in my hands



Placed the AV connector/power plug plate onto the hole like this



sized up the hole and cut the vent down like this



then placed the larger of the two vents back into the hole like this

front



rear shot



Made the connections at the battery in the back, routed the wires, and ran them to the switch panel. boring stuff that i did not take pictures of. I DID take pictures of the finished job though...







camera phone pics...but you get the idea

Very nice clean install. Are you an A/V guy by trade or just a hobby?

good question. yes i own a 12 volt electronics store. basically all the things you dont need but need to have. from tire/wheel to overhead dvd players to replacement headlights to repacement taillights. then everything inside for the most part
