    I just installed a new Pioneer AVH-4100 head unit. It has a usb extender that came with it that I currently have passing through the little black blank under the gear shifter. I have seen the hack where they essentially cut up an old charger and cut a hole in the black blank and glue it in. I'm looking for something that will offer a pass through usb connector that happens to snap in nicely into that spot. If there is any products or a way to install it in a professional looking manner I'm all ears because the gaping hole with the wire sticking through is driving me nuts!

    I don't know if will be an exact fit ,but newer Volvo trucks have a usb/aux port in the dash it fits into a switch slot with the cables going into the back of the radio in the tractor.If there is a Volvo truck dealer near you can go there look at it in the truck and you can order it ,without buying the radio,which is very expensive by the way.
    I will measure one tomorrow at work and get you a idea of the size of it.

    I saw that and was considering it, but I wanted to see if anyone had actually used it and if it fit well or if it was just wishful thinking. The reason I was hesitant is the Prius isn't mentioned as compatible with this.

    I measured and took a look at Volvo truck usb/aux panel it measures 1 7/8 inch high and 1 1/8 wide,looks a bit too big would probably take some modification.
    Looks like you have already found something better, that's great.
