Can I Add a USB to 2014 RTL without using T taps?
Has anyone successfully added a USB port to the dash switches or elsewhere without using T taps - via accessory. How was it wired?

Reason: Removed Prefix - this is a 'How do I?' Question not a 'How to:' DIY explanation....

One option is to eliminate the analog fuel and temperature gauges and rely on the digital display. Some folks replace the temp gauge with a volt meter and you could put a USB receptacle in the left side. The diameter is 52 mm. Sorry, don't know squat about the wiring but I'm sure some folks can advise and I believe you won't have to use T taps but can plug directly into existing wiring that powered the analog gauges.
Artillery lends dignity to what would
otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

Was hoping to keep those gauges. Perhaps someone has another option. Thanks for the ideas.

What do you mean about not using T taps?

The easiest place to run wires to the dashboard area is the speaker grilles.

All four of the switches on the dash, even if there is no switch installed, have a connector underneath that have both switched 12v and ground connections. I think you can just plug a spade connector into them.

Didn't know that - I'll explore that option. Thanks
