I'm planning to install a 10" Kenwood CarPlay head unit on my Prius and thinking to put a USB port for that on either 1 or 2. Can we make a port on 1 which is currently covered by dummy plastic? If can't, 2 is possible internally right? It's currently cigar port but I don't use it. Please advise.
#2 is easiest because you just plug in a USB charger to Cigarette lighter adapter... That's assuming you don't need USB to port to stereo and you're using bluetooth, which I believe is the standard.
Can I see the photo of your change? I will ask the technician to change, so as far as it's technically possible then I'm fine. Other post says it's originally ECO mode switch but I can still take it out and put the USB port? Also, is there a USB mount in the market to fit there? Or I have to cut the current dummy cover?

It is just a blocker plate. The spot was only used on very few Pkg. 5s which have the intelligent parking assist. You shouldn't have to cut the blocker plate (AKA dumy cover). Amazon has alot of options on USB ports that fit in that spot. I know what you are trying to do because I had to do the same thing, but in a Gen 2.
PriusCamper, I know what you're talking about and I have that set-up currently like you said for charging, but doomoo is using the USB port on the back of the new headunit that is used for Android Auto/CarPlay or a USB drive for music. Doomoo wants to extend the USB port and make it be accessible easily in a spot on the dash.
