    I bought the SR model and just have one USB port that I think it tied to the radio. If I wanted to add some more USB charging ports that are high amp in the switch location is there any recommended solution that make it look stock, or at least neat?

    I dont think there are any in the console. I walked out the door so all the cool options are missing. I plan to add more USB and then heated seats. Maybe some lights.

    I believe he means the center console that you store things in. The box that separates you and your copilot. Should have 1 in there

    Nope, there are non in there. I know most of the specs I looked at mentioned two USB ports in center console but the one I bought only mentions the 1.

    But either way I want to add at least two more in the dash as I have a GPS that needs to not be hidden. Are there any good charges that would fit in the blank switch spot or look stock if I dremel out a hole. I also want to add a USB port to the back of the console for rear seat passengers but this would be surface mounted so really any would work.

    What I guess I really should have asked was.

    There are a ton of 2.1 amp Toyota usb chargers on eBay that seems to fit where the blank switch would fit. Anyone have one with more amps or a known source for their that they like

    Awful pic, sorry but all I’ve got, you can see the size difference in the right side of the photo

    Did have to drill out the original hole, I used used a step bit.

    The Part is very good quality, charges my devices faster than a home wall socket.
