    Came up with a neat place to install my Voltmeter/Dual USB outlet. I did this install in my access cab, so I had to relocate my passenger air bag switch(never use it), those w/o the switch will not have to relocate the switch. Thanks for looking.20200603_170356.jpg 20200603_140658.jpg 20200603_111500.jpg 20200603_104618.jpg

    Made it real easy and took the switched power from the radio harness.

    Anyone know what the best voltmeter is?

    Dont see the point of an expensive Scangauge having a manual

    Looking at this one from CascadeCreekDesign

    has a switch with it to prevent mA parasitic battery drain

    not too excited about blocking windshield space though

    maybe right side HVAC/radio bezel would be better

    I’ll check if they have a switch
    Def sounds easier
    Or maybe only use it as needed not full time to avoid parasitic drain that voltmeters supposedly have/use power to be on

    just remembered I have a 2TPAM to install it could go there too.
