Is it a secret? Do I have to know a password or handshake? Lol. I just want to know the answer to a simple question. The dealer couldn't answer it. I couldn't find anything in the owners manual. I just find it very hard to believe that a flagship vehicle that costs what it does and is touted as one of the most technologically advanced cars only has 1 power outlet.

I travel for business quite a bit and at times I need to have quick access to my laptop or ipad. In addition I need to keep my cell phone charged and radar detector plugged in. I was on a trip recently and got into a bind, after searching for what seemed an eternity for another outlet I gave up and bought one of those expanders that you put into the cupholder. It was a waste of time because my radar detector would not work when plugged into the sockets that were provided.

My buddy had to bust my chops because his explorer has three plus one in the bed of his truck. He offered to drive in front of me on long business trips so I could charge my phone if I bought a long enough cord.
