    Installed android head unit and everything works great BUT the factory usb in glove box.

    I cannot for the life of me find the adapter for that plug.

    the TOYUSB plug for the 2012 doesn’t work, can someone point me in the right direction ?

    PAC USB-TY1 is for 2012 and up. Won't work for OP's car.

    I didn't catch this at first, but isn't the OP just mistaking the GPS antenna for a USB input?

    In 2010 and 2011 with JBL, the USB cable goes from the center console down to the small box (A) under the driver's seat (not the larger box B, that's the XM tuner). The small USB box then sends audio up to the headunit (over the high-speed AVC-LAN if I remember right).

    By the way, the blue connector labeled ?? in the photo is a GVIF input, for video from the parking computer in cars with parking.

    I'm sorry about that.
