How many 12V outlets are there, and where are they placed?

Also, does anyone have the Smokers Group? What exactly do you get with this? I'm not a smoker but like the ashtry for change. Does the ashtry go in the cubby under the radio, or is it one that takes up a cup holder? Where does the lighter go?

Thanks.

 

This is only one 12v outlet and its under the arm rest. It does NOT have a ground plug, only the 2 main prongs. The smokers groups comes with a standalone ashtray that can sit inside a cup holder. I believe the lighter goes into the round power outlet in front of the cup holders.

All you get is a removable ashtray and the lighter. You get one of each. The center console has a place to put change in it I believe if you lift the arm rest up.

 

You may want to check this video out below. It was made by someone who owns a Caliber and he does a walk-through of it. He does mess up a couple of things like saying the standard radio is a 6-disc in dash CD player, and also that the Convenience Group includes heated seats. Those 2 things he says are NOT correct and are separate options that you would need to add on to your order.

Thanks. That really cleared things up. I was kinda hoping it would give me another 12V outlet. Definately not worth the $50. I'll make sure to have that taken out of my order.

 

I'm bummed that the in-dash 12volt socket does not stay on with the key off. Sometimes I leave my cell phone plugged in while at work to charge it. My 2004 Durango has 4 12volt outlets. 2 of them stay on with the key off.

We just had a very similar conversation!

Tigerr- that is too bad you couldn't get another 12v outlet like you wanted. You have to admit though, MOST cars don't offer too many outlets, never mind the AC/2-prong outlet that the Caliber does. That's some forward thinking on their part. You can always go to Radioshack or wherever and get a DC splitter for 5 bucks!

 

Before I ordered my RT which I still am waiting on I did test drive one and it had 2 outlets one under the radio and the other under the armrest....my husband made sure that he pointed them both out to me
