    I have a 2020 SR 4X4 if it matters.

    I have done lots of research (including here), but I can't find an answer for my specific questions.

    After watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aovru422PCU I'm considering the DMM to be my next mod. I plan on using the Ram XGrip to hold my phone and any additional items as well.

    Which leads me to my next question: Once my phone is in the Ram XGrip on the DMM, what about power and Apple CarPlay? I contacted Taco Garage and the Power modules with the DMM are out of stock.

    I've considered just leaving the USB plugged in where it is on the bottom of the console and running the cable behind the dash and out to the top of the DMM to my phone. That would give me power and Apple Car Play (which I use a LOT). Is there another way? USB splitter?

    For USB power for additional items and passengers, I've also considered using something like this using a similar method to what is covered in the video: https://www.amazon.com/Socket-Charg...d5f-b128-26e20534a6dc&pd_rd_i=B07P2WMLXK&th=1

    What power/Car Play solutions have you found for the DMM? My experience with electrical stuff is pretty limited, so I'm not comfortable with much electrical work. Easy is best.

    The one who dies with the most stuff wins.
    I run the USB cable from the stock location, to the right of the radio bezel and up onto the DMM. It looks very clean and there’s no wires flopping around. I never felt the need for a more sophisticated solution that brought power up to the top of the DMM.

    I pulled the USB port from the spot in the console, plugged in an extension cord and have it running out of the groove in the DMM. The little flipper covers the hole so you would never know. I have a cigarette lighter adapter in the glove box in case a passenger needs power.
