[QUOTE="jondle, post: 1464969, member: 2598"] Most newer phones, tablets, laptops, everything electronic charges with USB-C. I would bet money the next iPhone or the one after that uses it too since iPads and MacBooks use it now. First reason is convenience; smaller connector and plugs in either direction. Second reason is, generally speaking, USB-C can provide more power than USB-A. It was easy, once you get the console apart. You might have missed this, but I did this on my 370z, not my Raptor. I did have to dremel the hole out a little bit as it was keyed to ensure the OEM 12V socket was oriented perfectly. I'm not sure I'd be able to return to stock, but I never would and F the next owner; there is a second 12V socket for any accessories I might need. I think the cover that came with it looks fine and don't think the OEM would work. I just got the car in March and I installed a wireless charger just under the center console that charges my phone, so I haven't even actually used the USB ports. I took a couple pics if you want to see what they look like open, closed, on, and off. Never mind the stains and mess in the console; previous owner left the car a mess and I haven't had it long enough to work on detailing yet. The other USB port is connected directly to the back of the head-unit, which isn't high power, so it isn't good for charging; just there for Android Auto, Car Play, firmware updates, etc. [ATTACH=full]300139[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]300140[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]300141[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]300142[/ATTACH] [USER=13140]@ljn21[/USER] Sorry for the hijack.
