| I was picking and discovered some shallow accessory jacks in a blazer/bravada. They are very shallow so I can put in the back of the console. The 90* plug makes this possible. They were in a cluster of three on the lower dash. I used one in the console. And one in the rear compartment, where I already have power for my compressor. Before: After: Nice neat and easy..... No more power issues for the kids!! | |

| They are the air lift 1000 bags, so not a quick response from a button push. It moves up and down slow so kids are not fascinated with it. My kids are 14, 17, & 19 so it is not an issue anyway.

Jim Gordon Just electronics. The GM wiring is pretty light. | |

| Nice job Tim. What wires did you splice into in the back? I've wanted to put a power outlet there for awhile, not just for passengers, but if I ever need to use a little compressor or something. | |

| I pulled a #12 wire to the back of the car when I installed the air/pump bag system. I spliced into that wire. | |

Ah ok. Maybe i'll just run a few feet of wire into the Azera console and just tap it in there. | |

Ah ok. Maybe i'll just run a few feet of wire into the Azera console and just tap it in there. I put a power "bank" in my console. Now when I need power I can tap off of it. | |

| Very neat and clean! Did you do the Airlift installation yourself? | |
