    Metra makes one that has the usb and aux. It fits in the switch locations under the ac controls. This also has (had, lol), a cover. As you can see, it didn't survive long.

    I made a new panel with more locations but the inserts are all made to fit Toyota small push switch size.B70E96DA-D819-4000-9A6C-89D4C0001E06_zps_af7c5eb9db25fb6ea12ffd83724d49f7cf1e3970.jpg

    How did you get the wires behind the dash panel, I looked behind my 13, and there's not any space.

    Could almost “literally” park a freight train behind the dash. I did the same, reference my post, went through the firewall above the pedals, and through the back of the dash down low, super simple. If you have small hands or child labor, you could do it without pulling and panels.

    Thanks, I see plenty of space behind most of the dash, but behind that lower panel looks very tight.

    My truck came loaded so every single switch location has a switch in it. I have nowhere to put USB ports or switches.

    More than I can afford
    Two on the dash (stock aux and the one that ties in to the stereo).
    2 port next to the switch panel (I plan on adding an AC outlet to the right side)
    3 under the dash (hardwired for dashcam, mobil hotspot and Garmin Explorer).
    Also just bought a dual two port one that I am adding to the bed.
