Inverter in boot

Post by deathwizard » Thu Jan 28, 2016 8:56 pm

Hi everyone,
Not long now until my rs6 c5 purchase!! :redrs4:
I will be fitting an inverter straight away on purchase, am i correct in thinking the battery is located in the boot? Anyone else fitted one is this the best location.
Ideally a socket in the boot would be better to charge items due to hidden visibility.

Battery's in the boot. I use an inverter in mine occasionally but not often enough to plumb it in.

FYI there is also a cigarette lighter socket in the boot. Can't remember if it's permanent live or not. Suspect not.

Both my front and rear cigarette lighter sockets are permanently fed, and the one in the boot... idk, that one has a mind of it's own!
