That's like my fiancee and I had to do with her G6. She's had it for 8 or 9 months now (bought it with 11 miles on the odometer...a little over 7000 miles now), anyway, we just found a compartment that we didn't know about last month and i found it has a second dc outlet (there's the cigarette lighter spot and also another one in the center console).

make sure you check every inch of the vehicle and find everything...we laughed our A$$e$ of when we found these things that we didn't find the first 6 or so months.

i sell them, and we went though classes on them, the only battery in the car is in the back by the space. only thing upfront are jump connectors and huge bus fuses and relays.

having the battery in the back solves a couple things.

1) keeps battery away from the harmful element under the hood. heat, moisture, vibration. the cobalt is the same way. the engineers have discovered that when you do that the battery last longer. mercedes and bmw have been doing that for years.

2) if you had to put a battery housing under the hood, you would have to take away a bigger engine and all other parts. this allows to put as much under the hood as possible with out sacrificing power, torque, suspension, and other thing that make the vehicle run quicker and quieter.

now if you need to jump the vehicle, you dont have to go to the trunk. thats what the jumper connections up front are for. and for those who didnt get the pioneer system, then runnin power cables for an amplifier are so extremely easy.

hope that helps. if you have anyother questions, feel free to email me.
