I am trying to power my new valentine in the Rivian quad 2026 is there a 12 V outlet in the front of the car under the dash. I am told there is but I can’t find it. Is there one in the frunk ?it looks like they redesigned the electrical connections in the unit behind the rearview mirror so you can no longer splice into power with the “”spade” technique I . I tried to purchase an M adapter from Valentine to attach the phone jack cable to the USB port in the center council. I ordered it over a week ago when I can’t even get them on the phone anymore or to respond to me by email or something‘s going on over there I guess I’m getting frustrated, when you power up the valentine from the US Bayport, it requires a step up in power and therefore the adapter is required. There’s one on Amazon, but all of the reviews say it doesn’t work on a valentine, even though it says it ,does. Any suggestions would be helpful. ,

No 12v under the dash or frunk since the end of 2022. The closest power to the front seats are those USB ports in the center console you already found. There are some DIY threads here in the forum for adding a 12v to the under dash and/ or frunk if you want to do it.

The Center Council has ruled: There is no 12V accessory port on any gen2 Rivians under the dash.

This is what most of us use to get power from ODB2 port

While that doesn't fix your issue, I am sure there is a similar adapter to go to a 12v port. Just make sure you fuse it and for mine i added a on/off switch near the wireless charger as well.
