    Default 2013 ST dash question

    I was thinking about installing a dual USB port in one of the blank switch holes on the dash in my 2013 ST. When I popped two of the covers off, I found two blocks (see pictures).

    Can I wire the USB port into one of these blocks? Are they hot already?

    The block on the far right is for the fog lights and the one next to it I
    think is for heated seats. They should be hot. You just need to do a little research on to what color wires to tap into.

    Thanks.

    Anyone know which wires to tap into for the power in the heated seat block?

    The outside right is fog lights. Second from right is air suspension and is not documented on the wiring diagram because officially it is not an option on the ST.

    Go with the fog light plug. The running light circuit that lights up the switches is orange with a red tracer. Goes on and off with the key. Would be fine for a usb plug.

    The fog light circuit is light green with a gray tracer. It goes on and off with the load shedding relay that energises when the engine starts.

    Ground is the black wire.

    So I should use the orange with red tracer wire and the black ground wire?

    Sure, if you want on with the key.

    Perfect. I only want it powering when the key is on.

    Thanks for the assistance.

    Please follow up with another post and let me know how it went. I would like to do that also. Let me know of any issues that you may come across, also maybe the USB that you are using.

    Thanks,
