Default Only 1 cig/power outlet?

I read this review a while ago that mentioned the inconvenience of only having one power adapter in the back, making it hard to use for a radar detector. My o4.5 has two, one is also near the cup holder. Is this something nissan added later, or was it a mistake by the writer? I could see it being hard to find, but it's one of the first things I noticed about my Z.

When I read that review it made me think:
A) he half-assed the actual review of the car.
B) maybe the older 350z only had one
C) he was just digging for something to "complain" about in an attempt to make the review sound more balanced/neutral.

Which is it? How many do you 03s have? Just curious.

just look for a small square on the back, medial to the large bin in the back. it flips open to expose an outlet.

2004 could have 3. The 'lil storage flip in center console can be replaced with cig. lighter, and you wouldn't even notice the difference.

The outlet in front on left side of passenger foot-well on the 2004 is not indusive to using the Smart-Cord display on an Escort Passport detector. So, the 2004.5 has an outlet on the center console?

I don't know what Nissan was thinking with the passenger location. (new Maxima, too). Just put it somewhere on the center stack/front console, please!

No, but you can replace the storage container with one fairly easily.

"I don't know what Nissan was thinking with the passenger location."

I like it, personally. It works well with my fuzz buster. No excessive cord stretching or anything. Very simple and out of the way. I dunno.
