Install a 12V power outlet in the boot of an Outback

Hey guys and girls,
I have recently picked up a MY07 Outback and am loving it. However it seems to be missing the 12V power outlet in the boot - I had one of these in my last car and found that I used it all the time. Does anyone have any info about installing one of these, or any experience with parts and pricing etc? I have had a pretty good look around but am drawing a blank.
Thanks!
Pete

Surely its got a 12v hiding away somewhere in the cargo area?? I find it surprising that it wouldn't....

Do a search on legacygt.com - US site. I used a piece there to do my outback a few years ago. All the connections are tucked away under the left side trim panels, and there is a marked place for the socket to go in the panel also, IIRC.

There should be a dedicated one already there, as mentioned by jp928
