USB power in Frunk Area
Tried to install a two port USB module in the Frunk Bucket only find I could not re-install it because it poked out to far and would not allow the it to go back in. Does anyone have any suggestions to accomidate charging a USB headset while the helmet is in the FRUNK or is this a potential for a drained battery looking for any comments on the matter.
Thanks in advance.

If you use the wires behind the frunk that are there specifically to power a 12V outlet they are hot all the time; ergo, you're going to have a continual drain on the battery.

otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

connect to a different fuse so keyed on only
We had the issue with it sticking too far out in the back to easily remove the bucket. I had our dealership install the USB port originally and after that we tried to remove the bucket for something (probably installing LEDs) and found that we couldn't. Apparently we could, we just had to be brutal with it and let the tabs in the back bend. I didn't like that so we modified the install so that the port sticks out further into the bucket. We used a small piece of black sprinkler pipe that needed to be split to fit into place, and we used a black zip-tie to hold it together.
Mine is wired to a fuse that is only on when the key is on so we don't have to worry about battery drain.

If you have a battery tender port, they sell adapters for a USB hookup.
