    DIY: USB relocation

    I hate that the radio's USB port is in the glovebox, so I decided to relocate it to a more convenient location.

    I found this setup on eBay, search USB relocation. I decided to mount it where heated seat buttons would normally be. If you pull up on the entire assembly ( fast key slot, cubby, and blank plate) it pops right up. Disconnect the fast key harness and take the whole piece out.

    You'll need a hole saw drill out the size of the new USB assembly. Once done, push in the new USB assembly and tighten the nut on back. Run the USB cable up into glovebox zip tie into the back of the dash and put extra cable into hole in center console. Reattach the last key and snap console back into place.




    I am going to redo it since the port isn't centered on plate, but I'm happy for now. I also cut the headphone jack cable off since it's not needed. 😉
