How To Install Extra Accessory Outlet
I take no responsibility on you screwing something up. Make sure you do things carefully and pay attention to what you're doing.

In this add-on, I used an accessory port from a 2003 Oldsmobile Alero. I picked this because of the way it installs and folds away.

The outlet comes out of it holder by un screwing the back cap. This is needed to paint the plastic.

Painting the part will be required to match the interior color of your the celica. These outlets typically come in grey or a dark tan. I used a can of spray paint from
Wal-mart that was $0.96. Flat black; 3 coats and it seems to mostly match.

First a shape to trace onto the plastic is needed. I took the moving outlet out of the outer shell to avoid any extra annoyance. Place the
outside of the outlet face down on a piece of paper and trace (carefully to get the right shape as it will be needed to draw the contour line used to cut on)





Next hold the pencil tip against the part and shown. then remove the part without moving the pencil.



Make a dot on the paper where the pencil tip is. (This should be inside the oval you just traced, if its not, you're moving the pencil)



Do this as many times as you need to to get a good contour line (Dependent on your drawing skills. I used 4 dots)



Now draw a contour line as shown below.



The line that was just drawn is the one to cut on.



Cut it out.



Now, go trace this shape in the car. The spot I chose is one where it will work without hitting anything or moving other wires around
and its easy to be reached by the passenger.



Cut out the plastic using the tool you are most comfortable using (CAUTION!!!! BE CAREFUL TO NOT CUT ANYTHING BEHIND THE PLASTIC!)



Now Time to wire it in. I chose to use in-line crimp connection. On the outlet I got the orange wire is positive and and the black is negative.
In the our Celicas the grey wire is positive and the white with black strip is negative.



Now install buy pushing the part into the hole that was created for it. Some extra cutting may be required for fitment depending on how carefully you cut out the hole.





This is the ending result. it is advised to put some super glue under the outer edge of the part. The clips to hold it against the interior plastic due to the plastic in the
Celicas being thinner than in the car the outlet came from. I have no complaints so far, works like it should.

Thanks. I've always wanted one that wasn't in the way when I plug something into it
