Rear seat cigarette plug

Has anyone removed the cigarette plug and installed USB ports?

 

Search in the "What have you done to your 3rd gen today" thread...quite a few have done it.

 

I installed one of these years ago. Got it from Sparks. Looks like they don’t have them on their site anymore.

I didn’t get rid of the cig plug, though obviously you can. I installed it on the other side of the back of the console.

Used a small hole saw, and just tapped it into the existing wiring of the cig plug. Easy.

Yes. Sourced my USB ports from Amazon. You’ll need to enlarge the mounting hole slightly once you remove the original 12-volt plug, but other than that it’s a straightforward swap. I’ve replaced both the ones in my dash and the rear seat one on the back of the console. No issues.

 

I think this is the one I bought:

Do you just pry out/back towards back seat? Held in by yellow clips like the center console?
TIA

 

Yes, just open up the console lid also.

 

Thank you sir.

 

Here's my set up...

 

You also might need to drill the hole larger.

 

Yeah, did the one in the console compartment and just used a knife to make it a tad bigger. I don’t think I’m gonna change the ones under the climate knobs. Don’t like cords cluttering that small space anyway, plus have one in the glove box already and the two in the compartment.
