OEM Air Compressor

Does the compressor need a break in between filling up each tire? I know the simpler units you get at home depot ask not to run longer than 2-5minutes then giving the compressor a break.

I have not had any issues filling up 4 tires from 15psi to 35psi, even in high ambient temps using the oem compressor.

You might run into problems if you go up in tire size. Like 34"+
 
Manual notes about 30 min duty free, but ambient temps will play in. Should be good for most 4 tire maybe 8 fill ups without cooling. It has a thermal shut off and display will note.
 
Not likely to fit as the compartment sizes are different with the 3rd row seating and might not have the extra connector there
That was kind of what I was thinking. Dealerships I've talked to haven't been able to any kind of definite answer, but one said it wouldn't be a problem to install it. I was hoping the connector would be there and I could buy the interior trim piece and the compressor.
 
I completed the install today. I couldn’t find a writeup online so I’ll give a quick one.

You will need to pull the rear cargo floor first, then remove the entire side plastic panel. Easily completed by removing lower seatbelt bolt and 3 10mm fasteners.

You will need to drill out the melted rivers on the cubby. Do not over drill as it will come through the front of the panel!

Once removed loosely and install the 3 provided screws to affix the bracket to the compressor. Interlace the nutserts on the right side and bolt the 3 fasteners through the body. The bracket is bolted to the inside of the jack cradle.

There is one plug that plugs into the panel and the rest go between the panel and the compressor.

I just ran into the most curious bug in the OEM compressor related to taking a break-

I was airing up all 4 tires from 16 to 33. I connected it to one tire, pushed start and when it said "finished" I just reconnected to the next tire and it automatically started inflating, so I proceeded to the next tire without touching the control panel...
Just before the 3rd tire finished inflating, the panel said something on the lines of "auto shutoff shortly due to inactivity", but while it was saying that it kept inflating the tire WITHOUT CHECKING THE PRESSURE.
I guess it's not the end of the world as it would have supposedly shutoff eventually, but I manually shut it off after it had run for much longer than I expected. Tire had over 40 psi at that point...
The good part is that all I had to do was turn it back on and it auto deflated to 33 ;)
Either way, no issue continuously airing up all 4 OEM 33" tires from 16 to 33
 
I have not experienced that, but I set multiple preset pressures and once I set that it would start and stop without intervention. There may be a continuous on option that could have been selected by accident?
