Am I just having a hallucination or was there an option on the Highlanders for a 110v inverter? We have an 04 and were thinking of putting one in. Obviously, if we could get the OEM that might be easier than trying to do a mod.

Thanks
Ken

To get the the 110 v outlet, you need the entertainment package.

And I am guessing that package was not included when you have a sunroof?:headbang:

You may have to get the Limited HH with the more expensive navigation system.

I bought one that plugs into the cigarette ligher at Harbor Freight for about $15. You should be able to get a low power inverter at just about any auto parts store.

inverters

Keep in mind that the QUALITY of a/c power that comes out of an inverter can range from clean to extremely "dirty". You get what you pay for. Some sensitive electronics require what is called a "sine wave" inverter. These are pricey, but will not harm sensitive equipment. Some computers and printers might require a sine wave inverter. I think the factory unit had the receptacle at the rear of the console, but that's not necessarily where the inverter is. Inverters produce heat and require proper ventilation. You can get plug in ones (cigarette lighter) up to about 400 watts. Above that and they require direct wiring, as they would exceed the current limit on the cigarette lighter circuit.
