12v outlet USB Swap

I did a little modding to the rear lighter outlet and the aux moved to the inside of the center console. Had to make the rear outlet hole bigger but in the end everything worked out.

 

I need to post up some photos of similar mods I did. Even added a female HDMI plug for mirroring to Pioneer screen from Iphone. Will be using that feature on upcoming family road trip. Anyone know of decent ipad mounts that “hang” off rear of front seatbacks? For kids to watch Individual ipads on road trip - no disputes!

 

I was also wondering if anyone knew where/how to get the lockable console box I just saw that comes in a 2019 TRDPro up at my local dealer. Nice little feature and doesnt take up whole center console space. Perhaps there is an aftermarket one that may be better than oem?

 

This one? If so, you can find it on Ebay. If you can wait, they usually have a 15% off deal every month.

 

That’s a nice vault I had something like that in the Tacoma but that one took up the whole space. On my list for sure. I will be adding an hdmi also since the alpine has a plug for it also

 

I believe the OEM one in the 2019s is not as tall and leaves more room.

 

Here is what I did w my 12v outlets in the front. The USB/Aux just serves as a 4th charging option. The USB port below the HDMI connects directly to the Pioneer 8400. Other two are hi-speed charge ports or at least one is..

 

I was thinking of doing that but I don’t want my phone to sit there when I plug it into the stereo so I put it into the center console by making it work with a dremel took some patience.
