goodmorning. as the title says i retrofitted the 12v power socket into the boot. 10 minute job tops. bought the ''plug'' from dealer 16 gbp , removed the rear pillar cover found the wire that already existed and pluged it. reattached the cover and that's it. the most easy mod i made.
Technical just fitted the 12v power socket in boot.retrofit

Thought it was standard on all GP's anyway?
mine hadn't one .the dealer when i order gp wanted 98 gbp for it. but i took my chances and won! i fit it and i am happy with it. 16 gbp of cost. know if only i could find a used cruise control lever. it costs 145 gbp new from dealer.

Eleganza already have it. Useful for charging up sat nav while keeping it out of sight
Jesus mary and joseph....100quid for a 12v socket!!
This is one thing I have really been meaning to do...just never got around to it...maybe i'll get my arse in gear now i'm doing the build!
One question though, is it a perm live or switched?

No switch on the socket itself but there's no power to it with the ignition off so you won't drain the battery if you leave something plugged in.
is this the same for the 1.2 gp active?
Lol, I didn't mean does it have a switch on it. I was asking if it was switched...i.e. does it go on and off with ignition. You answered my question anyway

yeah.
although i wouldnt pay stealer prices, i'd try and find a GP being broken and get it out of that

[Pantomime mode] OH NO IT ISNT! [/pantomime mode]
The GP active has a different loom to the others and doesn't have the socket hidden behind the trim (although the hole is cut in the boot trim) I just ran a wire back to the battery (via a fuse) and took the earth from the rear light clusters earth post
with the added bonus its constantly live
sorry mate for the delay. i'll have a look and i will tell you. i don't know if thiw will affect the order but mine is a left hand drive. just for the record. the power cable haw a small grey spunch rapped over the plug.mine was located inside the left carpet of the boot.
buy cheap socket from poundland etc
as promised, 735260656. 18,5 euros here.

My 2007 Dynamic 75 5 door doesn't have one either, I like the moderators Idea of buying one from a motor factor, lot cheaper and will still do the job.
slightly off story but has anyone put a rear roof light in the Dynamic? annoying when you open a rear door at night and you're met with darkness, how cheap skate is that
