    I'd like to add a USB port to one of the blanks on this panel, but I'm not seeing much on how to do so. Are there blanks or specific modules that can be purchased for this?

    If I recall correctly the 05-11 models use the same size switches in the center as the ones left of the steering column and the 12-15s use the small ones in the center but I could be wrong.

    To save time and effort you can just plug one into the cig lighter or other power port (behind the flip down cover) and they come in either/or/both QC and PC ports.
    Also I run one that shows the battery voltage in the center as an added feature. All $10-15 and if they die in a few years unplug and replace or if you need other end type.
    See Amazon for many choices.

    I have one that plugs into the regular power port, but I'd rather have something more permanent. I appreciate the suggestions!
