Poor Fit, No way to fix

It works as it should, however the fit is terrible. There are only 2 prongs in the back that put pressure on the existing hole to keep it in place and it is free to wobble about. There is no way to tighten the fit, no shims not threaded for a nut, nothing. If you thing you can thread it, you can't for the way it is designed makes even attempting it impossible. Even if you shim it, there is no way of locking it into place. It is not worth the effort to figure out how to wedge it in there and why should I? There should be a nut on the back to secure it and there is none. Only buy this if you absolutely need something/anything and even then you will most likely return it.

Used in place of the cigarette lighter. How it connected to the car was loose and sloppy. Needed to provide added support to hold firmly in place. But seems to work fine. If I had to get another, would probably opt for one with a threaded securing nut

RetroSound USB-PORT

does the job but my critiques would be that it could use back lighting. also make sure that your unit has a 3.5 mm input, mine did not so the 3.5mm remains unconnected. it also has a a rather long USB connection wire so you must take care to use very short ones coming out of it to your components as the data (apple/android) may not work. finally, its a lot of work to do a nice installation and considering the technology of these standard USB's are getting a bit outmoded, consider installing something with USB-QC or USB-C. I used a uni-bit and went through an area of plastic. it snapped right in with no screws (nor the included bracket) necessary

Great look, poor quality, worse service

After first using an OEM Apple USB cable, the RetroSound USB-PORT would no longer maintain connections with any other usb cables. If you pressed the other cables upwards and to the right (I tried four), you could get a connection, but only until you let the cord go. The Apple cord still worked but a total waste of time and shipping costs ($7 for this feather-light package). Plus, when I attempted to return the item, I was given a return label that, in very small font, let me know I would be paying for shipping to send the defective item back to the manufacturer. Luckily I read the entire form quickly and when I pointed it out, was told, "We can do it for you this one time" and was finally sent a shipping label. REALLY? It's Crutchfield's policy to initially expect customers to pay for return shipping on defective items?

Works great, put it in my 02 Lincoln LS with an aftermarket pioneer head unit and mounted it in my ash tray, I love it, the wire is thick, no worry about chaffing or cutting the wire with something inside dash. Highly recommend

Works great with new Pioneer head unit. A couple of moments with a dremel, i was able to install directly into dash and still retain the power port.

If you choose not to use the provided mount and drill a hole for a dash mount, there is no way to stop it from rotating in the drilled hole ... somewhat annoying. Other than that it's a good option.

Nice adapter!

This adapter was very handy. I was able to make it fit right in the hole where the 12v plug was in my dash panel on my F250. I had to make some very minor adjustments to the clips (cut off just a small piece for fit), but it fits perfectly and looks very custom and stock at the same time.

Replaces extra power jack.

My 2006 Honda Odyssey came with two cigarette power jacks. I removed one of them and replaced it with this USB/aux jack. Getting the old outlet removed was NOT easy. There are two square holes in the metal sleave that have plastic tabs. You need to push them OUT from inside the sleave to release the jack from the outer plastic ring that I believe is glued to the panel. Then take this device and PUSH from the front of the panel through the plastic ring. It is a TIGHT fit, but I was able to do it. You then have to feed the wires UP behind the panel to the head unit. To do this I dangled a string down through the back of the panel, tied it to the USB and aux plugs, then pulled them up through. This extension chord is built with what feels like high quality materials and functions as expected. The end result is like factory new.

Does the job

Appreciated the cable length. However, it did not fit perfectly into the cigarette lighter slot, didn't click right into place. With the cigarette lighter and shell out, it was too big of an opening. But with only the black plastic shell without the metal lighter part, it was too tight for the USB port to fit in. To remedy this, take a Dremel with a sanding drum and sand down the inside of the black plastic lighter shell until the USB fits. It only takes a matter of 5 minutes and it fits well. I would have given 5 stars if it just popped into place.

Great product.

Very nice product. Materials seem to be of high quality. I drilled a 7/8" hole in the removable panel inside the center console (under the lid), filed slots into the sides (like in the Retro-Sound's provided housing), fed the wires through, and pushed the product into that hole. Cables were run under the center console tunnel and plugged into my new Pioneer AVH-X3800BHS head unit with no problem. Looks absolutely stock. Works as advertised, and appears to be a factory stock item.

RetroSound USB-PORT

Purchased the AUX/USB port and installed it in the center console where the 12V power adapter was originally. Had just enough wire to reach the radio. Only downside was the diameter for the new port was slightly smaller than the power adapter. It fits and stays inserted, but moves around in the original hole.

Eliminates Dongles

This is a great product to add an OEM look to the dash. Instead of having a dongle hanging somewhere, this plugs into the back of your aftermarket head unit and then installs into your dash either with a hole you cut yourself, or by removing the "guts" of a power port and installing it there. Not too difficult. I installed this one for my rear seat passengers by cutting a hole into the rear of the center console and running the wire under the console into the back of the head unit. I also installed the PAC-USB wire in the dash for the driver and passenger in the front. It works as a sync cable, an AUX port, and a USB charger.

RetroSound USB-Port a solid product

Overall a solid product and easy to install. However, the dust cover is unexciting. It is made of rubber and works well but does not go with the rest of the trim in the car. Needed to drill a 7/8 inch hole in the dashboard to install. A note to this effect would have been good.

Well worth the money. I had two charging ports on my dash, I replaced one of them with this. Now I don't have to worry about loosing or breaking those cheap ones from the gas station. I have it plugged into the back of the head unit so I don't have to worry about extra wires in the glove box.
