Been busy with work and trying to chase down the cause of my P0171 code that I haven't had much time to do much for the 4runner. Today I got around to installing the Toyota Matrix inverter and plug that I got a few months ago. Wiring was difficult as it was spread across two forums and four posts, but I sat down with a 9V drill battery and got to work and finally understand what goes where.

In order to install this, I'd have to pull power straight from the battery, which was the perfect time for me to install the aux fuse box that early 2000s VWs have. It was very easy to install, you just put the terminal on and put somewhere to mount it:



I decided for this box as it could pull a lot of power to pass it through one of the three fuses on the box. With those three fuses as well as the five bars, you have an additional eight areas to install things--for very cheap too!
Not the best way to mount it, I know, however I'd like to keep the fuse diagram on the bottom box free from any adhesive so I can see everything there.


Getting all the wiring in was tough, however over the course of about three hours I got it installed.
The inverter was pretty easy to relocate, I put it where the factory amp used to be, giving me tons of room.
I then spliced into the ignition power for the cig lighter to power the switch and we were all set.


To wrap everything up, I installed the switch and the outlet in a temporary spot until I get my '99 center dash upgrade done. Overall, very happy with how it turned out!


Hoping to get my P0171 code fixed soon, I have a contact in Salt Lake who may have a MAF I can buy but I'm waiting to hear back from him.
