Need Help To Add DC Power Outlet(s)

I am looking for suggestions on where to tap off DC to add a 12V outlet (cigarette lighter type) in the trunk of a 2010 SE. I'd rather not bring it from the fuse box if I don't need to. I'll put the fuse in the line which I add.

I was surprised that there's no 12V outlet other then the one in the dash under the radio.

Only 1 DC outlet on my SE. Its a manual tranny so that could be the difference. Somewhat of a disappointment. I've got another model Toyota and there's 3 of em.

I may add the one in there and also one in the trunk.

I have only 2, no cig outlet.

If you have a amp running in your trunk, you can wire a outlet using the power wire, or you can get a nice dc to ac inverter.

I don't think I have an amp in the trunk. I have the mid-level radio without JBL and I'm not seeing an amp. I looked back there and didnt see anything other then what may be the trunk release motor (I suppose that it's always powered if that's what it is) which is enclosed in a plastic cube at the back center on top. Perhaps I'll see if I can find the +DC wire there.

Thanks and keep the suggestions coming!
