When I picked up my 2021 GSA I asked about the accessary plug below the seat on the left side. The salesman thought it might not be rated to power an electric jacket liner like my Aerostitch. My Stitch liner is at least 10 years old so I don't remember what it draws. Page 229 in the owners
manual says the rating of all onboard sockets together is max. 5A which wouldn't seem to be enough for a heated vest/jacket.
This socket also shuts off 15 minutes after ignition is switched off so it can't be used for a battery tender.
What can this socket be used for?
Seems like about all you can do with it is charge the passengers cell phone.
Not ranting, just wondering, seems kinda silly if it can't power some heated gear.
Maybe that protects canbus.
I suppose I could wire a lead directly to the battery for heated gear and a battery tender.
