USB Plug on Rocker Switches Console (Version 2)

[bullant12]

On my previous :spyder2: I bought a part from Burnsmoto.com which I can connect to my battery (I actually got the SAE connector and hooked it to the Battery Tender's ring terminal harness that was hooked on the battery. When not in in the Tender, I would connect both and the USB cable would be "hot). I wanted to hook up the USB harness where the rocker switches console is, but I could not fit a square peg in a round pole literally. When I went back to the burnsmoto.com website again, I saw a new USB plug that would actually fit on the hole where the wired comm system would go. After a considerate amount of time and getting the console removed (not easypps, I got the USB socket installed (had to expand the hole a little more) and it is wired to the battery. I can later wire it to an additional fuse box like Tricled's FZ-1 Fusebox.

Awesome, been looking to do this on my 2013 RT-S. Which USB plug at burnsmoto did you find that would actually fit in the console?

Just don't use the clamp. Make the hole bigger and it will tight in.

I have made adjustments to this mod. Now I installed another dual USB adapter where the gas gauge used to be (I am trying to find pictures... will post them later), and now my phone in on eye level with the dash thanks to JT's dash mount http://gnipsel.com/spyderstore/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=50, and power the phone with a coiled power cord.

My next project will involve moving the GPS to eye level with JT's dash, and thanks to Finless, I am going to run an extended harness that can power the iPhone and connect to the sound system.

Here is my setup

Dual USB on left, Analog Clock on Right
Eye level John Thorntons Iphone Holder
Dash level GPS Holder

GPS and I phone both plug into dual USB for charging and use.

Hi Joe, I don't want to derail this old thread, but do you have more pics about your cellphone holder?

That's were I have my phone as well. There is the exact 'X' phone holder w/a power USB socket attachment from AMAZON https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B017UC20QC/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A20H555M9MROEP

What Geeky said, but where did you get your analog clock, and is it accurate?
