    Ok, I went and test drove a 2017 Pro. Looked that thing over with a fine toothed comb. Never thought to look in the armrest to see if they thought to put a USB port in there or not, and I am not sure if the 2018 is or isn't the same. Anyone with a 2018 that can answer that question?

    There is a 12v outlet in there but no USB unless the dealer installed. not a factory option.

    Yep... here’s the rundown:
    1x 12v socket on far right of center dash push buttons
    1x USB and audio (radio input connected) in second row center dash
    1x 12v inside center console/armrest bottom front
    1x Dual USB on back center console towards the bottom (not radio connected)

    I haven’t had the chance to try this yet, but I suspect the wire connector for both the 12v in the console and the dual USB on the back are the same. I would imagine they both use a 12v accessory feed and the 12v to 5v conversion is done in the socket. If so, I can swap the two, so that I have USB inside the console and 12v in the back.

    I should also mention that the “tech kit” they give you for the radio has a 12v to USB adapter and two cables... a USB to Lightning and a USB to MicroUSB.
