    I have installed a dual USB charger. I simply replaced the cigarette lighter (I had to enlarge the hole a tiny bit). You can make a new access hole if you like to keep the C lighter. The installation took about 20 mins.
    It has two 5V 4.2A USB ports and also show the voltage.

    Looks good. Putting 1 of these in the back of the center console would be great for rear passengers


    iPhone ?

    Looks great! Though I'm pretty sure that those ports will be 2.1A each (4.2 total) since the type A port is only good for 2.4A at 5V.

    Where did you get it? Did you have to remove the lighter sub panel? How?
