Installing USB Sockets next to 12v cigarette socket

[NorthBoy]

Hi all,

 

I'm new to my Vellfire 2010 and wiring electric sockets.  I am looking for a twin USB socket to install next to the 12v cigarette socket in the central unit below the gear stick.  I have seen an old YouTube video from Malaysia with the exact unit with a patch cable to take power from the 12v cigarette socket.  However, I can't for the life of me find where this, or something similar can be found.  Any kind soul who has done this job, wants to point me in the right direction?  All the best for a great weekend.

Just tap into the positive and negative from the 12v socket. It fits in the hole next to the socket

Depends on what you are willing to pay, and what you want. 

You can have standard usb, or the newer usb c.

 

Here's a cheap one that does not require you to cut wires, you remove the plug from cig lighter and it connects in parallel.

I’ve order the QC3 unit.  I’ll confirm how I get in.  Many thanks for the advise and links, very helpful.

Thanks for this.  Nice looking console, no wood effects Toyota plastic like mine!

I re painted all the fake wood trim 😁, just need to change the wheel now. 

I really like the volt meter on the charger, super handy

@Rat-XF I am super new to Alphard owners club and am looking at swapping out the centre console. Your Phillips one looks awesome, do you have a link to the one you have installed?

 

I have found some of these panels on eBay but none that are "named" brands.

Hi mate Welcome aboard, I am also new on here 😁

I get alot of my audio install Accessories from TEMU, the facia to suit 10.1" Android you can get in Silver or Black..it was $40 NZD delivered. The Philip's Andriod unit I purchased second hand here in NZ. Part number is CID6680/93. I am unsure if these can still be purchased and I believe there is a Chinese knock off of the Android.

I had one of them but it one of the sockets failed after a while. I changed it over for another, but had to steal that to run behind the glove box because my android unit has HDMI output, the rear screen has RCA and I needed 5v USB to run the convertor. Just waiting for my third socket to arrive
