Putting a USB outlet in the console

Has anyone done a mod where you put a USB outlet in one of the knockouts in the console? I’m looking at a head unit that has a USB out in the back, I’d like to run a cable to the console and install a plug so I don’t have to plug into the front of the stereo all the time. I see that have charging USB outlets that fit the knockouts, but this would need to be for audio out from the stereo.

 

I've replaced the factory usb with a dual under the radio that does data. Or are you talking about the armrest? Which would be the same thing but just a longer cable to run to the radio.

 

Yes the console, something like this - one port is data, the other is charging.

 

If you're getting a new headunit it will depend on how many usbs the headunit has.

Either location you'll need a port like..

You can do whatever you want/need. Some research (and my god its out there) and just get after it. Scroll down on page 3. And i just took 7 minutes to just cut and make it. Didnt buy anything. Used a blank/cover. Ran to my after market head unit, and done.
