    One mod I am getting ready to do is to add some 12v power outlets with USB to the back of the center console for the rear seats. This is on a '15 DCSB.

    I want to wire these up so they are only hot when the key is turned to ACC or the car is running, just like the standard 12v power outlets.

    I need a sanity check on my wiring plan.

    I'm adding two 12v power outlets and 4 USB power plugs. It's two of these:

    My plan is to use an "add-a-circuit" with a 10amp fuse. I'm thinking the "ACC" fuse would be a good spot as outlined in the following thread:

    Of course I would be running the wires to the back of the center console.

    Does anyone see a problem with this plan?

    I imagine some people would recommend adding another fuse box but I have no plans for other changes, just these outlets.
