I second that. I have one on my Iphone 5SE and my buddy has one (on my recommendation) on his Iphone 6.

Best phone case ever!

Just an update regarding this mod. I have been very, very pleased with everything I performed regarding this USB mod. I wouldn't hesitate at all to recommend this to anyone.

I dig the placement of this!

I bought the similar USB adapter and actually put it out of site in the center console. I didnt like the idea of having a cord laying the cabin.

Also, the oem ashtray makes for a great place to put my phone.

Since then, its been ~2 years now...the USB adapter gave up...very odd, but to be expected for something I paid <$10 for

Smokers Kit for 09 Limited

Has anyone attempted to install the smokers kit on a 2009 4th gen? 2009 seems to be the only year with which this item is not compatible, since the trunk window switch on this model was moved to this exact area the part is supposed to be installed. I checked to see if I could easily move the trunk window switch up next to the DAC button (in between the seat heater switches), but I would need extra wiring parts. I'm open to moving the rear window switch elsewhere, I just don't know what components I would need. It seems very strange that 2009s are the only year that don't have an option for an easily installed smokers kit...

Needed:


The "smokers kit" feels nice.The USB Socket kit feels like a cheap USB port. If it works and lasts a few years, it's no big deal. Perhaps it will feel better once installed.

I set it up this way as I wanted a USB connection going to the back of the headunit. If all you want is "power", there are numerous other options for that.

If you wanted, you could leave the ashtray light plugged in and installed. I don't plan on using the ashtray for anything other than storage of something random, so I took it out so I wouldn't have to plug anything like that in.
great write-up, just got my parts in today, and seen this. AWESOME.

Thumbs up

Yeah, I took that route as well.
I found a dual USB (1 power, 1 data) like this to feed my c. 2015 Display Audio I dropped in to preserve the aesthetics.

But like OP, I’m looking to fix the broken 12v power socket plus I want a USB-PD Type C to round out my power choices. Plus the pocket flipping cover won’t stay shut. This kit seem like just the ticket.

Curios what djkurious did here? What usb connector is that?

I’ve been wondering if anyone had done this with the Blue Sea 1045 fast charge dual usb charger socket mount? Like this one: Amazon.com: Blue Sea Systems Fast Charge 4.8A Dual USB Charger Socket Mount, 12V/24V : Cell Phones & Accessories

Smokers kit is a great piece to install. I do already have the dual usb socket in the switch slot.
