Bottom Line for the UK = Splitfolding seats gives you the boot outlet, otherwise only outlet is the front cig lighter. NO rear panel ones and NO footwell one.

HOWEVER, we do have a live torch socket (there is a shutter over the socket pins that you slide. (but NO torch)

Problem with the torch socket is that it is not live when driving (or mine isn't!)

You can get an adapter that plugs into the socket and gives you a 12 volt socket (though at low current so no big pa systems etc!)


I have taken off the panels where our USA friends have sockets and there is NO wiring pre-installed for socket fitting....poor in my opinion.

My uk 530dA was delivered with a torch still in its cardboard box, but no socket, just a blanking plate with power lead attached to rear. Socket was added by dealer a few weeks after delivery. Apparently they had a stock out problem at the factory in August last year a few hundred units went out without sockets.

On mine it's the same like in Doc D's. NO sockets, NO pre-wiring.
Ah, well - I can live with that, since the power outlets look cheaper than the poplar trim I got there.

When I ordered them they were only available in poplar.
But I will check the accessories brochure when I'm home (at work right now, and the brochure is at home).
