I removed the ashtray last year to work on the HVAC and haven’t put it back on partly because it’s ugly. I do sort of want the 12v power supply in it however.

Has anyone modified the existing ashtray with USB power ports? I don’t have a need for switches.
 
Well, yes and no. I have pulled the ashtray and am adding power ports.

This is the set of ports and this is what I'm going to use to mount it. Figuring it out as I go. Power is right there to use so seemed logical.

That looks pretty cool. All of that can run off the single cig lighter circuit I suppose?
 
Should be able to. I'm only drawing a few amps off a 12V lead, to charge a phone and a few other devices ... nothing more intense than a USB cigarette lighter adapter.
