Has anyone butchered/made the plastic bit under the stereo near the 12v socket fit a usb? I currently have it out and just the usb lead leading through it but want it to look smarter..
(Would out a picture of what I mean but no idea how to lol”

Re: USB fixture.
You could do it in the ashtray, unless you are using that?

Re: USB fixture.
I've seen people make little panels to sit under the ash tray that they've mounted USB sockets to and wired in. Could that work for you?
I've also seen (on other cars) people completely remove the 12V socket and replace it with a USB.

Re: USB fixture.
I went for something similar on my Maxi
Are you a MK3 or a 4 ?
I replaced the 12v outlet with these, very simple mod, not sure if you can see clearly

Re: USB fixture.
I had the USB socket next to the cigar lighter socket as standard but when I fitted my kenwood I removed the oem socket and glued the kenwood USB extension socket in its place (from underneath), looks just like the oem did.
I did some pictures as I did it but they were either transferred to the laptop or they have been deleted.

Re: USB fixture.
Mines 08 plate maxi. There’s a little rectangle thing just above the 12v socket that would be ideal to fix a USB port that currently plugged into rear of stereo, and ideal for being just below my phone hold so not cables trailing all over.

Re: USB fixture.
I've a couple of these left, for the MK3 coin tray switches?
