We have a 2022 and a 2023. I noticed the blanks in the 2023 where the cigarette lighter outlets are in our 2022. I popped one of the blanks off, hoping to install outlets like you’ve done. But I didn’t see any kind of connector/harness to connect them with power. Have you found a connector for the cigarette lighter outlets you purchased?
Well, for $115k I wanted the sunglass holder that came on my previous Defender... Plus, if this works, it will be a good option for people looking for parts from a junk yard...

@Trauma - I totally respect @sna77 's decision. I have done things that others would think are far more spend stupid. But me, I'd just get one of these! Or one of the numerous others I've seen. I use the eyeglass holder on ALL my other cars and think this is another chicken-poop thing that JLR is doing for no other reason that being cheap with an expensive vehicle. I just LOVE when folks do things to overcome JLR's misses. It just depresses me that there isn't a cohesive effort to fix the logistic side of the train wreck going on. Personally, I'd slow down the marketing machine of new products until they nail the existing lines.

DEFINITELY post pics when you upgrade that to some DC outlets. That is definitely something I can / will see myself doing. When I evacuated my house do to wildfires, I had to use my old Chevy to work because IT had outlets for my laptop. My high dollar princess was useless.
Best case, they figure out how to hardwire the OEM outlets.... Either way, I want two back there.
