Rocker Style Double USB Port

[Red Dog]

Search function keeps reporting Zero results for "USB" so I'm curious, has anyone installed one of the rocker switch style double USB chargers on their TJ?

Been considering doing so due to the better half needing her phone charged on road trips and I like to use my ipod for tunes sometimes. Was hoping I could find a thread where someone has already installed one to get some ideas, tips, pointers, etc.

Here’s what I recently did, it’s a daystar vent switch. Spliced off the power from my windshield pillar lights.

Thank you!

I was originally thinking of placing one next to my fog light switch next to the ash tray but those vents look like a way better location. iPod/phone can sit in the caddy on the dash and I wouldn't have to deal with the potential of cords tangling around the transmission shifter.

It works pretty well! Only thing I may change is swapping the vent with USB ports to the passenger side.

Passenger side is where I was thinking as well since chances are the better half would be using it more while she rides shotgun than I would while driving. Tempting to relocate the fog light switch to the driver side vent.

I use one of these in my switch panel. Works great.

I was actually looking at that in red on Amazon when I saw the alert for your comment

I believe the rocker switches in the TJ are not standard size? I was hoping to do a bunch of similar add-ons (various power and switches for stereo) using the blanks in my rocker switch panel, but research shows it's not going to work.

Gold coast distributing has TJ custom labeled switches on eBay. I recently got some labeled KC for my lights.

eBay seller custom3dproducts is making some nice TJ specific switch panels.

I don't have an ashtray so used the space. It has volt display in the middle when hooked up.

Farmboy good idea!
