If you don't use it for anything else, you could use the 12V outlet socket for row 2 and convert it to permanent 12V using the Wiggs link trick? 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

The rig will pull about 9amps on Tx,& I am wondering if you could use the towing Socket circuit in the LH rear of the vehicle as a power supply.
