How/where to install a 12V socket in the boot for a limousine W211
Hello everybody,
I would like to install a 12V socket in the boot of my limousine W211 (420CDI).
Can someone help to find information on the topic?
Is there any hole prepared, where is it installed usually by MB?
Any picture would help
In advance many thanks

Honestly, a much better location would be on the other side with the net basket area. If you put it there you can charge stuff and it won't slide around. As far as cutting a hole I really don't think a hole with power will kill your car value and will increase it's function a lot.

My concern about avoiding to drill a hole is to preserve corrosion protection that has been made at the factory.
