USB port

means i now have 2 usb charging ports which are on all the time. and 2 extra data orts avaiable while still have my ipod cord hooked up. essentially i am hooking 2 cords into one but only using the ipod or the usb ports not both at the same time. just makes it easier to get to. my headunits usb is on the back of the radio. does this make better sense? more of a convience thing than anything else

 

So those 2 data ports are connected to the back of your head unit? Thus you are able to interchange whatever mp3 player etc as your input?

Also, those two constant charging ports - is there any draw on the battery if there's no device plugged in?

 

correct on data and the charging ports i cant tell they draw any current. they dont have any lights on them like some chargers. i drive it everyday and if they draw any current i wouldnt know.

How does this relate to the OP's original requirement which was a USB port to "charge various electronics"?

 

i have already figured this out and moved on. have integrated data and power

 

idk if this helps. but I did this yesterday.







I'm not quite done, if I work or my truck to much my gf gets up my ass..... think it might have been her birthday yesterday... anyways i just crushed that plug in a vice gently then added wires and pluged into the fuse box in the power port fuse which I'd already pulled the relay on the back side and put a jumper in so i can have power all the time.

hope this helps if it doesn't i'm sorry and good luck

 

i used the same thing but done this mod long ago. if you go back in the thread. i have data and power ports. also the housing can be pried open no need to crush it
