It locks in solid and the same leads that run to the lighter will fit the usb socket.\r\n\r\nI don't smoke and have no use for the lighter, so this was a much cleaner solution, for me, than using a car adapter.","subreddit_name":"Harley","author":"mooose"},{"body":"Sounds like you have A/C, which puts the 12V at your shin.  I have a stereo with USB but it's 1.2a which barely keeps my phone charged.  I'm going to install a stand alone 2.1A USB panel.  If you're hady with wiring, you can pretty much put a [panel](https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Sea-Systems-Charger-Socket/dp/B0082CXEI8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1549053134\u0026amp;sr=8-3\u0026amp;keywords=usb+12v+outlet+blue+sea) anywhere.  You could even convert one of the vents into a panel by closing it off.  Have a console?  You can put it in there.","subreddit_name":"Jeep","author":"jeepnjeff75"},{"body":"[I did a similar one during my OBHS install](https://i.imgur.com/kbjIIQY.jpg)\r\n\r\n[\"Blue Sea Systems BelowDeck Panels, Dual USB Chargers, 12V Sockets and Mini OLED Monitors 5V 2.1A\r\n](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0082CXEI8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1)","subreddit_name":"WranglerYJ","author":"tendinosis"},{"body":"http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Sea-Systems-Charger-Socket/dp/B0082CXEI8/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1439778082\u0026amp;sr=8-10\u0026amp;keywords=usb+2.0+port+marine\r\n\r\n1. Buy this or similar product. \r\n2. (this is the hardest part for some cars) take the console that covers your cigarette lighter out so you can access it.\r\n3. Disconnect your cigarette lighter and throw it at something. Never look back- PRETTY BAD ASS! Keep the wiring as intact as possible and locate the negative and positive wires.\r\n4. In the hole the cigarette lighter came from try and fit your product from step one. (Before doing this take the \"ring clamp plastic piece that holds the fucker together off the USB charger\") You will probably need to make the hole a little bigger. I used a dremel to smooth the inside out, but you can use a file or brute pressure and just screw the USB thingy in real hard. \r\n5. After the USB connector is fitted in the hole put the ring back on the connector to seal it tight.\r\n6. Hook the positive and negative wires up to the old ones from the cigarette lighter.\r\n7. Close your console.\r\n8.
