What can be plugged into the 120V 2nd-Seat-Row outlet?

Sometimes we do long car trips with my family. It would be great to run stuff off the 2nd row outlet & keep people entertained for hours.

For instance: Wouldn't an ultimate road trip include a PS5 with Nreal Air AR glasses (an adapter will be needed) as the monitor for whomever isn't driving?! Now I haven't done that but it sounds sick to have an outlet available for something like that!

What you have used the outlet for in long road trips?

Classy!!! You can fill your whole third row with a giant fish tank! Technically you can still see through it out the back window. :unsure:

Exactly my thought... trying to figure out if saltwater or fresh water would be better. Haha!

But in all seriousness .. normal usual suspects.. phone charger/laptop etc.

PS5 with VR would be great though haha

Low wattage items will work fine. Don't try to run a microwave. Power will last for a little while if vehicle is off.

Outlet is 150 watts max. PS5 is over 200 so unfortunately would not work. That outlet really isn't good for much more than charging stuff.

That's what I was worried about. That doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room.

Perhaps the older cartridge consoles. Because disk games will skip on bumpy rides.

In my old Ford Focus ST, I was able to get a NES, as well as, a Sega Genesis to work on the center console. It was great for killing time. I used a converter on the cigarette lighter port.

Those kinds of electronics need a good clean stabile power source, which I doubt that outlet is.....so even something like an old sega don't be suprised if it locks up in the middle of a game or does some weird stuff.
