Hey there everyone:
I'm a new owner of MYP22. I've been looking for a solution to find a clean way to tap 12v power in the trunk of my vehicle (my appliceation requires very little power ~2w).
I am looking to run power all the way out of the trunk to the license plate. I want to stress that I'm not looking to use traditional vampire taps or cut and splice any wires in the vehicle. I'm doing my best to find a place where I can create my own harness to splice power in a clean manner that can be removed later if needed.
After searching posts here quite heavily I did find the 12v accessory port in the rear of the car, and the connector that supplies power to it:
The issue is I don't know where to buy this connector and it's receptacle, or what part number I am looking for.
I've seen other instructive posts regarding installing a power liftgate on the MY, and I could reasonably pull power from the actual trunk using the body domain controller there. I don't know where to begin. I pulled down the trim so I could install an upgraded trunk light, giving me a good idea of the wiring going through the trunk. Is there a reasonable spot to tap power in the trunk? Am I lucky enough that someone knows the connector part numbers going to the controller box in the trunk just behind the license plate?
Am I going about this all wrong? Like I said I am trying to reach the rear license plate, so ideally I could find a 12v source that's good enough without even leaving the trunk.
If I don't have to do a long wire run all the way through that stupid rubber hose I'll be happy.
Thanks for the help!
