Thanks Mark.
The 12volt bulb will have load enough voltage drop to stimulate whether are there resistance hindering it. If it is good enough to light up a bulb , I'm pretty sure won't have problem powering up gps, usb chargers and etc.

Sieh King,

Not much.... Proton car plastics are easily detachable..for this part it is quite sturdy. So no worries... go ahead !

Hi YH Wong,

Thanks for sharing. Nice reminder to always "picture" that invisible internal resistance. The same when measuring batteries, the digital voltmeter doesn't tell you the whole true... Well done.

Cheers,
GM

Hi Wong, Yes there is only a screw(covered by the black rubber) above automatic gear. Just pull the plastic console out on both sides of the light grey plastic.
