Shawn719 plagiarism slow build

AC switch move

I am about to tackle some wiring for my 5th gen and came across your build thread. Great job on the installs!

How did you move the AC 120V switch over to the right side of the steering column? The harness does not seem to be long enough. Did you cut the wires and extend them or did you happen to find a wiring harness extension? I was hoping there was an extension to just plug up to keep it clean, but maybe not?

Thanks.

Light on (strip lighting is one of my favorite mods I plagiarized - serves a great purpose!)

Change some switches around. The fog light switches from ABR work and fit perfect. They are green, but the color change adds to the mix.
No, the switches are not labeled per light, but I know which one does what, so its all good.

Move "Party Mode" out and Invert in. Ill probably swap Inverter over to the rear parking alarm location. Hard to see lighting when inverter is on. The party mode switch is in need of repair. I am going to look towards OTRATTW for an alternate switch. I don't like how this one sits so far out.

And the "work" goes on - happily.
 
I have been searching for a little while looking at different solutions for powering the myriad of different power devices the family carries with them when we travel (cellphones, handheld gaming, ipods, etc.). I had wires running all over the place.
I had considered running a couple extra 12 volt outlets but decided what I really needed was more usb ports. The one and only USB is dedicated to the ipod which is velcro'd in the glove compartment. So a couple more USB's should (and did) do the trick.
So, I went searching. There were a couple posts/sites online of folks building their own USB's (no thanks). I finally found an a company by the name of "iSimple" that makes the USB I was looking for. One that was made as a car kit.
I thought of all the locations to install and settled on the on the back of the center console and the area above the "aux" plug under the stereo. The install went well. I think I will get a couple more of these and run them to the 3rd row seating area.
I posted a couple pics to show.

Literally just thought of this tonight! And then stumbled on your thread. nice work. The back ones look clean AF
