Thanks for your kind words.

Re the battery, no, and it was fine, probably b/c the power is unplugged as you noted. But obviously ymmv and it’s always safest to disconnect the battery.

@meltdowner , 16g should be fine, pretty sure that’s what I used.

OP and contributors, thanks again for all the good info. Ordered a Toyota specific dual 2.1 amp USB port from Amazon and installed it in less that 15 minutes this morning. Works great!

Hope my new backup LEDs come today so I can put them in tonight!

Buzzing sound?

Just replaced my original model with one of the Blue Sea ones yesterday. Also got one installed in the back.

However, the one I put in the front has a low electrical buzzing sound. Has anyone else had this? it works fine so that's good, but the buzzing is loud enough that I could hear it even with my radio on.

I searched the reviews on Amazon and there is only one mention of someone getting a port that was making a buzzing sound.


EDIT UPDATE:
I checked again and it seems the buzz-chirp is only when I have my wireless charging pad plugged in, and nothing on the charger.
Might be it's using just the right voltage/current to cause some audible response from the components in the USB port.

More Update:
I've had this installed for some time now and I don't hear the buzz-chirp at all anymore.

Its under the shifter bezel with the 12v and window switch.

For those like me that hate the blue LED, there's a version with AMBER LED!

I installed one of these from Amazon with a direct fit to the empty switch spots.

I think his post was about this thread and a link to what he called the “updated” choice of USB port I ended up going with is in the very first post. It’s the one by BlueSea Systems. Hope that helps, LMK if you have any questions.

This will not fit in the stock hole without some kind of Mod correct ?

I did this Mod about a year ago and went with the BlueSea dual USB charger feeling it was a quality unit. I’ve been very happy with it. But yes it did take just a little trimming to get it to seat right and I used a silicone adhesive on the underside to help hold it in place.
That plus a “GTA” Bluetooth kit to connect to the factory head unit with hands free calling really brought the vehicle up to a more modern experience.
