    Looking to fit a power socket in the rear of the centre console,

    Can anyone tell me if there are any wires running beneath it
    that are only live when the ignition is on ?

    Are you looking to allow high current devices to plug in? If so you'd ideally find a 2.5mm wire to help avoid popping the fuse if someone plugs a cup-heater in.

    If you just need a couple of USB sockets for example then I'd fit something that gives you that, and can run off a smaller wire without adding significant load.

    Do you have any services in the centre console like external auto connector modules? Or heating / motors in seats? Looking up wiring that is known to be there may be easier.

    There should be a socket in the boot fed by a red+grey 2.5mm wire which probably runs down right of vehicle from fuse 26. Finding that and tapping into it to run under carpets may be best bet. Or down the console tunnel to the front 12V socket making sure you don't foul the gear stick movement.
