You have a USB plug in the dash, use that to power the ipad.
In the back of the console you have a built in 150w inverter, use that for the laptop.
2 problems with that.
- The Sync USB plug is standard USB and limited to 0.5-0.9 amp. The apple stuff does some electronic handshaking and will draw almost 2 amp. My phone actually discharges when using navigation while plugged into the sync USB.
- I have the 6 seats so no 150w built-in inverter. I added an inverter anyway so 120v in the truck is taken care of. I want things to work from the trailer too.
