    Added powered USB port.

    Thought all the interior guys out there might like this. I added a USB port for power only. I put it in place of the cigarette charger, and even used the power source from cigarette charger itself. The mounting could be a little more OEM, but I was just going for quickness on this one. I'm going to make it flush in the long run, but this is it for now.

    This is the plug I used.

    Had not seen those, that would work as well. I think I may convert this to accept data/audio eventually

    It looks better than "fine" right now. I have always been pretty anal, but my advice is that it is currently perfect and needs no further attention. Move on to something else.

    Something about it not being flush is what annoys me. I actually took the plate that was behind it, and move it to the front. I think the plate will need to be trimmed to fallow along the lines of the dash there. Here are the pics





    EDIT:Picture look terrible for some reason.

    This is what they're referring to: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/1000ma-...-12v-24v-34040

    But I like yours better just because its not some off the shelf part. Well technically it is, but its not exactly a plug and play kind of stuff :p

    Nice work though!
