The kids have their gadgets and pretty much everything can be charged with USB these days. I wanted to simply the process a bit and eliminate some of the wiring clutter.
I purchased a
Blue Sea dual port USB outlet from Amazon. It puts out 2.1 amps and will charge Apple products (according to the reviews).
The biggest question was where to put it. There isn't really space due to the air vent duct in the back. In the end, I just decided to let it intrude into the ducting. Here are some photos. I ran the wires under the center console and put it on the cigarette lighter circuit. Note that the back plastic for the console pulls up and out. You really don't have to remove the console to do this.
