Looking for wiring options/suggestions

[Mazo EMS2]

I want to add a USB outlet to my dash for GPS and phone. (Gas gage side) Can anyone recommend a good/easy spot to pull power from on a 2010 RT? I thought maybe the wires from the gage, or from the fuse panel in the frunk. Haven't decided whether or not I want it "live" all the time.

Thanks

If you remove BOTH the temp and the fuel gauge from the dash, you will get both readings digitally on your screen and then you can use the power from these gauges to power a Dual USB or Digital Voltmeter or both, don't use that power source for a cigarette lighter plug though because they draw too much power. If you need more info call me at 501 580-5595 :thumbup:

I was hoping to leave both gages intact/working actually. Was planning to put a hole in the speaker screen or close to it, and bring in power from somewhere else. Hmmm, I'll have to check the diameter of the USB outlet I have coming....

I have a 14 rt and used the speaker screen for a cigarette plug wired to the battery. Am getting ready to put in another on the other side only will be a double USB port this time. They will be hot all the time but I just have to remember to unplug when done.
