    Hi everyone - need some expert info/advice from you guys!

    I have a 2015 (gen 2.5) Tundra double cab with bench front seat. Planning to swap out the cigarette socket (see below) with a USC charging port (www.amazon.com/dp/B09PDBWWDR) so kids can charge their phones during road trips.

    How do I safely remove that back panel? Been searching awhile but have not found any posts of such upgrades on this particular back panel (i know the part # 71353-0C020-C0).

    Has anyone here done such an upgrade? any advice on the panel removal & wiring is greatly appreciated.

    Cheers, AlfIMG_4213.jpg

    LOL.... i also used the plug for quite some time, but it kept falling out and/or getting destroyed.... so opting for a more permanent solution. I was able to figure this out, mission accomplished!
    See result here.
