USB socket to fit into front fascia panel

Proud owner · 21st September 2017, 23:11

Can someone please send me a link for a single or preferably double USB socket that I can buy that can be fitted into a spare hole I have in the fascia switch panel? Also any how to its fitted would be appreciated too.

Where is this spare hole, what shape and size? Don't seem to have any on mine.

You won't Steve - the switch panels came with the right number of holes for the switches you have.

You can buy switch panels cheap enough though - went from 4 switches to 5 on my car.

As for the USB socket, as far as I know people have modified and installed their own - I haven't seen a plug and play socket specifically for our cars.

Colin_Ni - this is his car. This is sexy as anything. Ask him, because this should be standard!

Many thanks, what I'm trying to do is swap my 2 hole fascia panel for the two heated seats to a 4 hole one which I've got so that I can retro-fit a rear blind which I've recently got, adding the switch for the rear blind and then put a USB charging socket into the remaining hole.
Colin's installation looks fantastic and is just what I'm trying to achieve, I've sent him a PM as suggested.

I fitted mine in the rear ashtray that way the kids can charge their phones when were out, if I remember right I run it off the cigarette lighter wires through an inline fuse, mounted it on the ashtray because you can get them cheap from scrap yard if you want to remove it and no holes left...

I've got one in the glove box, one in the cubby hole (those ports came from an old PC unit) and the DD unit has it's USB socket mounted in the drivers side cup holder blank.

I think three's plenty.
