There's a thread entitled 'USB' over on the Spridget side that would be worth reading for anyone who wants to add a 12 volt plug-in of some sort.
I won't attempt to summarize the discussion there, but will add that the approach we took years ago was to remove the passenger side grab handle and wooden backing piece behind the dash, replaced the wood with a larger piece, and mounted a cigarette lighter connection onto the wood. We use it when driving to power a GPS unit, and will swap out plug-ins/adaptors as required to charge phones etc. It's completely hidden and out of the way - also a bit awkward. Doing it today, I'd probably take the same approach but probably add a second purpose built USB connector only and maybe try for a more solidly built 'power take-off' (I think that's the modern phrase). Can't remember if I put a fuse in (just in case), but hope that I did. Doug
