Title: Twin USB ports fitted
Post by: PCPeteUK on June 20, 2013, 10:32:22 AM
Hi Guys,
I drilled out that 'spare' blanking cover (and the metal plate beneath) and fitted this. It gives me the two USB outlets I needed to run/charge my GoPro and to charge the phone.

Currently have it wired into the accessory wiring and touch wood all is well.  :smiley:

Looks like a plastic cover over the blanking plate.
Where are the USB ports?
Is there a separate voltage dropper/regulator.

And you can charge the GoPro whilst it is in it's case?

Hi Ros, Yep. I drilled a small hole in the case that aligns with the usb socket and normally plug it with a rubber grommet. But in fine weather I can remove and plug the usb lead in...

Nice mod. Where did you get the USB component from?

Obviously I didn't require the bar mount. It lights up when powered with a nice blue glow...

I like that, handy to know it exists. Would be fairly easy to piggy back off the other 12 volt socket for wiring.
