chan110 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Whats the best way to add an USB socket in the glove compartment? Split from ciggie lighter power source or a separate fuse one? Pics will be great! Thks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubear Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I did mine on a separate fuse but this is only because the current requirements on USB is pretty small so you can get away with a smaller fuse than on your ciggie lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftershock Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Mine is just straight from the Cig lighter and had no problems with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Rizla Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) The usb connection on my kenwood also supplies power to any connected device, does yours? Edited July 19, 2012 by Mr Rizla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah mate - mine just a crappy single din old stereo. But yes my new stereo wud hav a usb socket + i also hav a usb socket tht plugs into ciggie lighter. I just want an extra usb socket in the glove compartment so i can charge a tablet/2nd-mobile etc in a safe place out of the way and out of prying eyes whn i go on long trips etc :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Rizla Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) top idea that man , id fuse it and then attach to the lighter fuse, or the stereo power feed, that way its well protected, the usb fuse should pop 1st if it breaks, and if it draws way to much power due to a short then either the radio or the ciggie lighters fuse would pop protecting things, go for it, top mod Edited July 19, 2012 by Mr Rizla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
