Hello everyone thanks for watching! I was asked a question on the forums and wanted to share the answer here as well. I was asked if the port comes into contact with the back seats when the back seats are folded down. The port it self will not come into contact with the back seats. It does appear very tight if you wanted to have the seats down and charge a device. It might be to tight without a 90 degree USB charger.

Those wires look pretty thin. The phones these days need more power for a faster charge. I wish car makers would think about that and use a larger gauge wire. I think I'll run new wire and add a port on each side instead of the middle. 1 12v connector and 1 multi usb A usb C.

Make sure the cig lighter is getting power, then make sure power is getting to your USB charger. Sometimes the splice connectors don't lock into the wire just right. Also, test it with the vehicle on. It would be easy to test it with a test light. Your looking to find where the power has stoped flowing.

@ClassyTacos3 жыл бұрын
Thank you for the kind words. I'm no expert in electrical wiring. I would have to say no. Not a good idea with a straight hard wire to the battery. Maybe with the proper connections. You would want the connection to at least have an in line fuse for safety, and then to a usb charger. It would be a more difficult install to make it all look clean.

Would there be any problems using both the console and back 12 v at the same time. I wanting to install a 12 volt cig lighter not just the USB ports. On overlanding trips, I want to charge my power generator using a 12 v port and run my 12 v fridge. Would that be too much draw off of a piggyback single circuit?
@ClassyTacos2 жыл бұрын
It depends on how you run the wiring and from where you are drawing power. Look into the Guild Outfitters 12V in cab kit. Here is the install for that. -- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d-B_pcJ3rJ2-hGg.html This kit goes directly into the inverter for 120v in the cab separating the power for the USBs and the 120. This is a safer route than pulling all the power from one wire. I'm not an electrician, I just always go the safer route. Thanks for watching.
@kevrobinson20004 жыл бұрын
This is a great setup and really appreciate your step by step instructions! What do you think about using the cigarette lighter inside the center console and attaching a USB charger and 2 USB cables? Then, I could cut a hole through the back of the console like you did and run the USBs through a black grommet for a clean look? I would love your thoughts on if this would work? Its not as good of a setup as yours, but I think it would work?
@ClassyTacos4 жыл бұрын
Kevin Robinson if you plan on using a USB plug in type charger for the cigarette lighter with cables plugged into it. You could just close the lid and have the cables come out the back of the lid. Using the lighter the way you are trying would require you to cut a whole in the inner council and then another one out the back. If I am understanding you correctly. The cup holder will get in the way. Hope that helps.
@kevrobinson20004 жыл бұрын
@@ClassyTacos Thanks for the quick reply! I really like your setup, but not sure if Im ready to tackle the install (tapping into the cigarette lighter wires specifically). You are correct, my thought was to use the existing lighter, plug a dual cig lighter USB charger into it, connect 2 USB cables, then drill holes in the inner console and the outer console using a grommet for a cleaner look. The USB cables wold pass through both holes through the grommet . The grommet would be in the same spot you installed the USB charger, 3" below the top.
@ClassyTacos4 жыл бұрын
Kevin Robinson that sounds like it would work. I think the tap in is better/ cleaner and you get to leave the inner console alone. I understand you have to do what you feel comfortable with. Once you drill the inner section of the console theres no going back. Good luck with the install and thanks for watching.
