115v outlet on Touring

anything is possible with the right tools.

Get either a 12V inverter and run it from the rear 12V port up to the 2nd row, or get a battery powered inverter. Ryobi makes some inexpensive ones.

I was thinking same. Unless you really really need the 115V plug right there and nowhere else (and why would you because, cords exist) then why go through the hassle and cost to attempt a retrofit

I originally thought of the ryobi idea but prefer a cleaner, integrated look. Plan B is convertor.

I suppose if you ran wire and mounted a plug. Honestly I would never attempt it and just use an inverter.

The 115v plug is actually one of the reasons I went with the higher trim.

I never had a 115V plug before. I have no idea what I would use them for.

I had the 115 volt in my 2019 Honda Pilot, I never used it once and had no idea what I would use it for

I tried using it to inflate a camping mattress but the pump was too powerful I guess because I always tripped the breaker.

You have to have an inverter to get 120v AC in your car.

If you just want it for charging, a small inverter from the 12v outlet is the way to go. You won't get more than about 150 watts from those circuits.

If you need some real power inside the car for margaritas en route or something, pay a pro to run a new circuit to a bigger inverter that's hidden somewhere. They will ensure appropriate fuse and ground. Most decent electronics installers could make it look original.

I used the one in my 2017 for chargers and a media player for the RES. Rather than swapping discs all the time, I just put stuff for the kids to watch on a USB drive and they watched via a Micca Speck connected via HDMI. Now that they're older, though, that's not a thing in my use case; I did get an inverter to run more/better charging to the second row if they want to use their Switches on a trip, but my surmise is they'll more likely just use their phones and charge them the built-in USB ports.
