USB power plug in 2010 Prius III

[grantb3]

I was searching for a way to add a 12v aux input for a Nav/GPS on the left side of the driver (GPS attached to the little window front lft of driver) and I found this loosely related page. I know you can buy the little lighter plugins for USB for about $5 from AccStation, but this is cute too and doesn't use a socket.

And if anyone knows here I can tap in to get 12v to the left of the driver, let me know.

$0.64 (if you buy at least 2) shipped if you can wait a couple weeks for shipping. Really slender.

That link goes to your account page. But don't worry, I can't log in to it, but I can't see the product either.

Oh yeah, I've seen those. But the OP wants something for the left of the driver's side.

wsdeal.com is focalprice's wholesale site.

You need to buy at least 2, but you can get 3 for the about same price as one for this product.

The OP could use the same technique and use one of the blanks, if he has one, near the dash dimmer.

I'm adding some info here even though there was a more recent thread ("Add a USB Power Outlet" 6/6/10) but it is closed.

This link "www_onehalfwatt_com" has several USB circuits including ones that will alllow special devices like Motorola phones and some iPods to charge from a standard USB port. These need a special signal on one of the USB pins which standard USB outlets don't have.

I incuded pictures of a USB port I added to the panel below the bridge. Cutting the hole for the port was a matter of roughing it in with a dremmel then fine adjustment with an Exacto knife. Templates for the cutout are availlable on-line.The plastic cuts pretty easily.

The connector is held in with two screws. I found some small black hex head screws that blend in with the black of the power outlet and blank cover. The cable I used has a USB connector which then plugs into the USB output of my Kenwood Nav.

Awesome! I am definitely doing this mod. I love it
