    Never seen one specifically designed for that location. Only thing I can think of is drill in a round hole in blank cover and putting cigarette lighter style usb socket.

    They sell usb ports that you can put in your 12 volt spots. You replace them, looks more stock.

    No one makes a USB port for the airbag switch blank as far as I know. You'll have to either drill/cut a hole yourself and install a universal switch blank USB port, or just use one of those things you plug into the power outlet.

    The airbag switch area doesn't fit a universally sized switch. It's not standard. It is proprietary to Toyota and fits nothing besides the blank plastic, or the airbag switch itself. The factory airbag switch isn't a traditional switch that you may thing of, it would have a key cylinder that you'd put your key into to unlock and lock the pass. airbag.

    Looks like this. A little damaged but it's all I could find on Google.

    The emergency light flasher switch for example would fit a standard "universal" switch, but requires some grinding some of the plastic on the trim itself. That's what I had to do to fit a OTRATTW switch where the rear locker button would go.

    Yes it does! It's a little expensive but each port is 2.4A which is considered a "fast charge".

    It's Blue Sea its high quality. I went with something cheaper
    But i wanted one that was a usb connection to my stereo and the other is charge only.

    I actually did the same thing. I put a single usb in the place of one of the 12v sockets that goes directly to my stereo. I then used the power from the 12v socket for the blue sea usb. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tiffany-the-taco.374490/page-4#post-13918653
