12v in boot?

Hi All, First time poster and 2nd time Freelander owner here.
I bought my 2007 Fleelander 2 HSE last weekend and thought that it had DAB radio - turns out not!
I've done a fair amount of Googling on the subject and seen a lot of people thought this too and have been severely disappointed also.

Anyway gripe over!

I've ordered myself a DABMotion kit and was wondering if anyone can tell me where I will be able to find a 12v source somewhere in the boot?

Many thanks in advance.

The boot junction box has a few unused, FA5 is an unswitched permanent live and FB2 is a switched live.

lots of people have fallen for the lack of DAB on earlier models, because it was digital on a button

12v supply, as i don't think a 07 would have the 12v Aux socket on the left hand side, would be from the fuse board under the floor panel in the boot

not sure which would be switched or perm though

EDIT: ^^ EY obviously does, well done that man Thumbs Up

I fitted my dab motion unit behind the sat nav facia i then took power from the passenger fuse box in the foot well F5.
The dab motion is a nice piece of kit but you have to chose a good fm frequency as you may find that you get a lot of interference.
There is a switched live in the boot fuse box but there is a delay for it to be active only works with the engine running this is why i fitted mine at the front.
