I've got the factory fitted second battery fitted under the passenger seat as part of the 'Parking Heater' pack, has anyone installed a switchable and discrete 12v socket and a couple of USB's off this and got any guidance? I'm intending run one of those portable fridges and allow phone / tablet charging while parked up for a night, don't want to be draining the main battery etc.

Thanks
 
I have also the Parking Heater (wich comes with the second battery) and a second 12 V socket on the top of the dashboard (+ 1 near the ashtray-hole).
The optional 12 V socket on the top comes from the second battery under the seat. This one I use for tablet and smartphone.
For the fridge and the waterpump in the sink I installed two 12 V sockets with the wires + fuse direct to the second battery.
I took out the original plastic cover on the back of the base of the seat and replaced it by an home-made "flat" panel with 2 holes in it.

Remarque: this is a European T6 with LHD ;). The second battery is under the driver seat.
 
Thanks @DP55 that looks tidy, will have a better look at easy of removal etc. The caps on the sockets would be great to keep them clear.
