So I've been looking at using one of the spare switch spots for a couple of usb chargers.
Just stumbled across these.
Probably a bit steep but still.

Any news on this?? very keen to see how you went with it!!
They look the part, as most things require a USB outlet to function one at the back of the centre console might be the go.Quote:

Yea I've got 2 of those. One in the rear and one on a small electrical junction box with Anderson plug so I can run power to the tent.Quote:

I've been looking into something similar. Keep in mind that most of the USB chargers ive seen on ebay and at Jaycar have a 1.0A and a 2.1A slot (or they might advertise 3.1A shared across two slots). Such a config wont charge 2 ipads. Ipads need a 2.1A slot. Even if you want a faster charge on your mobile, chose the 2.1A slot.
So if you're thinking of throwing a couple of these USB sockets in the back seat for the kids, make sure you get 2x 2.1A... otherwise.. "are we there yet?" ... "are we there yet?" :1087:
Im looking for something like this in a dashmount config - http://www.jaycar.com.au/Power-Produ...arger/p/MP3666 May be able to pull the guts out of it and refit it to one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-2-1A-Dua...3D131492692357
Posted these up for you in one if your other threads a while back Kallen

i pulled my cigi lighter out the front and tried to wire it up but the wires in place did not want to play ball for some reason!
Thats all I did , just tapped into the power cable going to the rear power outlet.
Don't forget to fuse it at the battery end, I used these
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/261879292...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
i got a baintech one with dual usb plugs..
so run some regular cable and fuse direct from aux battery.. what size cable and fuse you think?
at least 6mm for any power wires
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/321464011...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I find it easier to run a thick cable to a fuse block that is fused at the battery.
I'm a big fan of blue sea fuse blocks like this one
Find a spot for it under the dash, passenger kick panel, glove box etc and then you can run as many fused accessories as the fuse block has spots
thanks guys.. will look into the fuse box also as that means i just run lines from the box which is nice a clean coz i aint got a clue whats going on behind the dash with the cabling and that way i know whats what!
:)
one last thing.. can you check out this thread and help me out so i can sort out the rear of my truck?
Finally got it installed Attachment 58214
Nice fit was it into a switch slot
Did you wore that up through the ignition or straight from the auxiliary battery? If straight from the battery is the plug lit all the time? Is there a drain on the battery? Not much but potentially enoughQuote:

I guess you could ignition feed a relay so it's not always on but still drawing from sub.
Bought this item from ebay: 251657096591. Installed it below and tapped into the aerial switch so it is isolated with ignition off.
Came with an in line fuse.
Unfortunately it is for European Nissan, the slot dimension were exactly the same however the locking device didn't hold it in place.
Popped the dash facia off and secured it in place with super glue.
Now have a charger for my Samsung Galaxy while on the road.
Yes its into a switch slot the old GQ had one next to the heating slides.
We piggy backed it of the cig lighter socket so it only works when the ignition is on.
Well here ya go another option that I have just come across on fb..
It seems both ports on this one are 3A.. which is a bonus..

I purchased and installed one of these a couple of months ago. They look great and work great - except that I thought that they were also an on/off switch so you could use the rocker to switch the USB charger on and off. They are not and as I connect every accessory to the auxillary battery, I had to install a separate switch. Otherwise the USB would be permanently on. Anyway, I don't like the idea of connecting the USB charger to the ignition switch because sometimes I want to charge things when the ignition is off.
I have mine live to the Aux battery with no problems ,
dont really have much room left for any on/off switches
