Dual USB charging outlet install

Here is my take.

Remove ac controls and radio and radio surround first.

Push outlet in to a blank under the ac controls.

I didn't want to have wires going directly to battery or tapped in a fuse hanging around which it a total eye sore. So I used the ground already behind the radio surround.

 

Then I fished the hot wire over to the fuse panel in search of my constant hot. Which I found here.
Its the top plug with the red wire soldered and shoved in and zip tied for now until I have time to depin and solder to existing pin.

 

Next reinstall all your trim pieces and enjoy your new 3.1 amp charging outlet that is about as factory looking as you can get. Enjoy.

 

Nice! I just might have to do this mod eventually.

 

Finish placement looks good.

 

Sub'd so I can find this when my truck gets delivered.

 

that looks super clean. i recently did similar but for the back seats. might have to also do front!

but what about a fuse in case that happens to mess up. couldn't it blow something connected at that harness?

this is where i did mine

 

All of those wires from the box will be fused already. I'm not too worried. I will be adding an inline minifuse when I solder to the contact in the plug.

 

I'm planning on ordering a couple more one for my wife's car and another for my rear seats like you have.

 

For sure. was just wondering! love the oem look! kudos.

 

Thanks!!

 

What would be Awesome, is to be able to somehow hook this or another USB Outlet to your head unit(stereo) so that you're able to play music off a thumb drive. This mod alone is cool though as I could charge my iphone & other devises that utilize usb.

 

Behind the aux cover I already have a USB port and aux jack so I can do just that.

My problem was the port had very little power and could not keep up with my phone running GPS. Let alone my tablet.

 

Long time LURKER first time POSTER.... Could you provide info on the USB you used that fit in the opening so I could order one? Thank you

 

Wait, you have a USB next to the Aux that allows you to send data over to the radio? is that an option o the newer taco's? i didn't know any could do that! send pic @jmaack

 

Just saw the pics you had a couple replies before! but is the solely for charging? or data also?

 

The aux and USB plug is factory entune junk. Yes it charges an iPod but not my phone. Yes it can play music from thumb drive.
My truck is a 14 with engine plu . Idk when they started installing them.

The new plug is charge only.

 

Here you go. It was from overseas and took a couple weeks to come.
