Rear power outlet

[Gorse]

Does anyone know where I can get hold of an adapter to be able to use the power outlet in the boot of the 150 (see picture)? Or a part number? I can't seem to find a suitable item anywhere and am running out of search terms.

At the moment it's just a 'hole' with some electrical contacts under a spring-loaded flap. I'd like to be able to use it to plug in a standard three-pin UK plug.

Thanks very much.

What you need is an inverter. It take 12v D.C and converts it to 240V AC, I’m guessing the oem one we’ll be pricey. It’s only a 100w so it’s not going to power anything substantial.

Thanks for the info. Still can't find anything though.

Does anyone have one they could quickly have a look at and send a pic/part number?

I have to be honest: I don't know what a Hella socket is, but by a quick Google search I think the answer is no. I've taken a picture, with a 20 pence piece for scale.

So now I'm wondering if that's a European style socket? Can anyone confirm? Maybe I just need a travel adapter.

Well it does look like a EU socket

Yeah, it does. It didn't occur to me before. I assumed I needed something fancy and expensive from Toyota but perhaps I was wrong.

It is a European style plug, just buy one of those cheap converter plug you see every where.
Be very careful when you have one that fits snug as you can end up pushing the EU plug out and it's a pain putting it all back together.

The plug is also only on while the ignition is on or the engine is running. On the other hand it's a convenient way to charge laptops and things like that, I even ran one of those electric coolers off it for a while.

I will do that. Thanks.

Is this the standard fitment, or do they normally have a UK style 3-pin plug which I for some reason don't?

I think it's standard on all of them that has the socket.
