I have searched this site and only found 3rd party mods to add additional power points. I have done a little digging and found a factory USB power point that appears to be plug and play. Part number is 68365897AA. My dealer is pricing around $45. This is obiously rediculous, but gives you a starting point with a part number. Happy upgrading.

I just found two factory parts on eBay, I will be uploading pictures when I’m done with the install in about a week or so.

With a lot of the phones out nowadays(even iPhones) supporting quick charging, I don't know why anyone would want to install just a straight up USB charge port. Buy a 12V plug in charger that supports Qualcomm 3.0 quick charge and has dual USB ports. They'll also work for phones that don't support quick charge also.
I have both of these, work great

Hi Spud

I bought and installed the same USB 3.0 outlet.
However, I have no power to the Center Console. Checked the fuse 104, etc.. No Joy.

Any ideas?
Thanks
Rennie


$32 for a USB port?!?! Holy hell. I have switched out both of mine (center console area and rear console) with this from amazon.

Cut the factory connector off, throw on the supplied connectors and you’re done. Dual ports as well so twice the charging if needed.
