12v Socket in boot

Can anyone tell me where the 12v socket is in the boot of a Stilo?

Dunno, I can't find mine either. All the brochures mention it, but it doesn't seem to exist does it?

Mine is on the left side, just below the parcel shelf.

Stilo 1.6 Dynamic

my dad has one on his '01 JTD dynamic

i know he has it - not sure where tho - will find out

The is a hook just next to the light on the upper left side of the boot. It is in a round hole which looks like it is the same size as a cigarette lighter. Is that where it's supposed to be?

Was in a dealer today, Calendonia in Warrington this time (played ignorant and let the guy spout s**t at me, I knew so much more about Fiats that he did! :p) and had a look in a Dynamic 3dr they had. Saw the abovementioned hook and pulled it out only to find a hole. Tried pushing the thing back into its hole but that wasn't happening in the hurry. Closed the boot sharpish! ;)

I wonder if there is any Fiat employee in the UK who knows the features of the cars they sell? If I'm capable of more or less memorising the brochure after a few reads what's their excuse???

Anyway, looking forward to someone locating their socket!

I have a strong suspicion that the 12v socket in the boot is one of the things that has been changed in latter Stilos - i.e. it isn't there anymore....

It is indeed next to the boot light on the left hand side. It even says "12V supply" (or something similar) in white and its hidden under a plastic lip type thing. If you can't find that then I guess you haven't got one fitted. Is this just an Abarth feature?

My car was delivered late July 2002 (Wow! :O My car is nearly 12 months old, plus its started to remind me about its pending first service) so I guess sometime since then the socket went AWOL from the Stilo. Is it now an optional extra?

On taking delivery of my car the dealer mentioned something about approaching me after 18 months to see if I wanted to swap the car for a new one, but since Fiat has removed half the goodies I think I'll stick with what I've got!

I've had my 5 door dymanic now for 6 weeks and I noticed the 12v socket and puddle lights were missing even though they were mentioned on the new spec. I pointed this out to the dealer and she totally agreed with me. That threw me because I was ready for an argument. [:(!]

She contacted Fiat and they have now agreed to put them in. My car went in so they could check the wiring and now they have submitted a claim to Fiat and order the parts. I hope they have the parts before the factory shuts for the month!

I'll keep you informed of the progress. :)

WOOdward!!!! Am VERY interested to hear about Fiat agreeing to put them in for you because I suspect I might need to take that route when I get my car next week. Which Fiat dealer is it that you use? Long story short but ordered post spec change car from pre spec brochures as dealer had not yet received post spec change brochures so one way or another I WILL be getting a pre spec change car. RAH!

Barbarian: it was a standard feature on Dynamic upwards but with the Feb spec change Fiat did away with it.

Cheers guys!

Found mine next to the boot light say MAX 180Watts on it.

Same here! If one dealer agrees to make changes like this, it makes it all the easier for others to persue the matter. It sets a precendent.

Got my Dynamic MultiWagon two weeks ago (03 reg) and its got the 12V supply under the boot cover and its got the puddle lights.

Stilo MultiWagon Dynamic 1.9JTD

It is not an Abarth equipement only. I have the 80 active, bought it in June 02 and i have the 12V socket in the boot along with the lights on the doors.
So , in that sense Fiat must have removed these items sometime later.( along with several other as I have read in here)

Fiat Stilo 80 Active, no alloys, no power tuning, love the sky window though!

Hi,

My 02 dynamic has the puddle lights in the door and the 12v adapter in the boot. Its on the left just behind the light.

Andy

Is there n e way of installing one in any model in the boot? i.e. in a cinq? I've got a coolbox with a refrigerator lid which has a 12V plug - i'd like to be able to use it in this weather! ;)
