Default Damn Shame on Lexus - yet again :(

I just read the entire manual, and to my dismay I didnt see any identification of a 115v power outlet in the trunk or center console. This is such a useful accessory as sometimes we have poweritems or lights or whatever you'd like to use.

I for one have a plug in airbag jack that I received for Xmas that I can no longer use as easy as I thought with the GS. its sad that my Toyota Maxtrix had this.

Sighhhh.... as you were. Im sad now.

115V outlet, is that the same as the cigarette lighter? I know the arm rest has a power source just not sure of the voltage.

115v is a household electronic plug. The only cars in the Lexus line that have that are those with RSES (rear seat entertainment system), RX, GX, LX and the LS.

My GX has one in the rear area, but I never even opened the little protective cover over the outlet. It's of no use to me, but I guess it's nice to have it.
As they say "I'd rather look at it, then for it".

Interesting complaint. If we take things a couple of steps further, why not just get an RV? 110V AC outlets, generator, kitchen table, kitchen, bathroom, bed, etc etc. Scratch that.... it still won't work, there isn't a pool or room for a stripper pole.
