USB point install

[Stumble]

Thinking of installing one of those double round USB points, but, where ?
BTW independent of cig sockets, need both for other things
Where do you have yours and wired into what ?
Probably wire up with a switch so permanent live ok
Thanks

You can drill the panel just below the current socket, the inner dash support moulding needs to be cut/drilled too but there's plenty room behind it.
Or if you don't use the stereo line in jack socket in the LH dash cubby then fit it there.

What would you wire it to ?

I have retro fitted a powered USB socket which comes on and off with ignition so I can charge my phone when I'm in the van but the socket is off when the ignition is off. Here are some details of what I fitted:

Here are some details of how I wired it in. It runs off the supply for the dashcam which had a spare USB socket. Hope it makes sense. Only 1 is powered at the moment and the other socket will be used for a USB memory stick for an aftermarket head unit that will be installed in the future. Would be very easy to wire up both to be powered though.
