Was gonna put this in the lighter port, but it didnt fit.So into the ashtray, (something else i dont use), but not willing to give it up either.Has a cool little digi volt display, (wired key on for obvious reasons).

Not digging the mounting from the top.I redid it for a flush look.Ready for repaint.

Cut out the rusted section.Made/welded a bracket.Secure USB w/ two small screws (hole/s).That is all.

I did similar, but I was able to hog out the hole in the plate to mount the port in the stock cigerette hole

Re: Neat, Cheap, little USB Charger install.

That was my original plan, but decided on the stealth look.

Stealth? Doesn't get more stealthy than putting it in there lower. You can't even tell it's changed when you open the door
