Has anyone replaced their cigarette lighter with USB ports?


Recommended Posts

I'm going to be installing my new head unit soon and it has rear USB ports that I would like to route through my factory cigarette lighter port.  That way I can just plug my phone into the USB ports right on the center console. Has anyone done this before? I think it could look really clean if done properly.

 

Thanks.

No bluetooth instead? I hate cords..

Anyway I've seen some USB sockets that replace the lighter, barrel style with a nut on the back so they "bolt in" like the original lighter socket they're replacing.  You connect power to them and charge your devices.  I would bet there's the same style product out there that is simply a USB extension you can hook the head unit to, just might take some creative search terms to weed out the ones that are simply power outlets.
