The USB port was just what I needed. I drilled a hole in my console and installed.....went in without a hitch! Works great for a hard wire connection to my head unit.

Looks nice, doesn't fit securely in the Elantra cigarette lighter.

Alan from Honolulu, HI on 1/15/2025

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I installed a head unit from Crutchfield in my 2013 Hyundai Elantra. That included the after market harness to preserve the factory AV input and USB ports. Unfortunately that didn't work, as my phone was unable to connect with the head unit (wired, as the JVC unit didn't connect wirelessly) Crutchfield Support sent me another harness (that also included the circuit board with the USB and AV ports) at no additional charge. Didn't work. So, I bought this cable, connected it to the USB cable from the Head unit, and installed this in the cigarette lighter port. The fit was a little loose and I just used electrical tape on the inside to further secure this port to the dash. It looks nice, and connects to the JVC head unit without problems. (I chose the cigarette lighter location as I didn't like other locations to mount the port)

Pros: looks nice and works

Cons: Not a secure fit in the cigarette lighter port of the 2013 Hyundai Elantra

Worked fine - seemed a little small for the cigarette lighter that I took out (wouldn't latch in place). I ended up wrapping a little electrical tape around the mount to create the additional friction to hold it in place.

Clean install, wish it was a little more solid

Thomas from Rock Hill, SC on 9/5/2024

2009 Chevrolet Express

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Works well, I just wish it mounted a little more securely. I was careful to drill the tightest hole I could to mount it, but it still flops around some and rotates easily. Probably going to glue it, but that means if it wears out before the truck I'm looking in a scrap yard for another dash piece. A threaded body with a locking ring on the back side would work better.

Pros: Factory look Good price Solid performance

Cons: Mount is a little loose. A threaded mount with a locking ring would work better.

Great addition for head units that offer USB input to provide a factory look. I have used these in the past three vehicles that I have installed aftermarket head units in. This is a must have for people looking for a clean factory look with their installs.

Pros: -Affordable -Offers a clean factory look to any installation

Cons: -May need to alter retention tabs for mounting in areas with thicker material

2017 Nissan Titan

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I used this on a 2017 Nissan Titan with a new head unit - This takes a 3/4 inch hole and works great. If you mark the hole centered and clean it, this looks factory. A trick I learned on this install was once you drill the hole, use a heat gun on the edges and wipe with a cloth. It keeps the edges from getting roughed up with sandpaper or a Dremel tool.

Fits to loose. It would be very difficult to add some rubber sleeve to allow it to fit without gluing it to your dash. I opted to not glue my dash and sent it back. Otherwise, seemed to work ok.

I ordered two of these to replace the two factory 12VDC Outlets below the radio. They plugged into the two USB Input Cables from the Sony XAV-5600 Head Unit, but they are too small for the opening left by the removal of the factory outlets. I was led to believe that they would fit. I wish that there was an adapter for 3/4" to 1" openings.

Pros: Nice connection to Sony XAV-5600

Cons: For 3/4" Opening only

2014 Tacoma Double Cab - So this piece came with the Install Kit... I did not use it as my vehicle had the factory USB / Aux below the HVAC controls that I plugged the radio into. The USB below the HVAC works for using Apple and Android carplay with my radio. If you do not have the USB / Aux then you would need this, I gave it a 3 star only because it was included in the kit - at least it is there if you need it.

Doesn't fit the standard hole for either the lighter or extra USB port on the jeep 2008 wrangler. The part is too small for the diameter of the stock cut out. Despite saying it does !
