    20211015_172430.jpg I sure wish I had at least one more USB port in my Tacoma. Is there any reason not to plug in a two port expansion hub to the single port there? Has anyone tried it? I'd like to be able to power my Nuvi through it and play my music on a thumb drive. I have a four port hub on my laptop because the thing only came with a single USB port and it works fine, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a good idea for my truck. Similar to this one pictured, but I'd be fine with a two port.

    I can't imagine you'll have any issues doing so unless your garmin is drawing an abnormally large amount of power

    you could also plug in one of those USB converters into a 12v, those usually come with 2. Or you could install one of these in it's place
