12v power socket


Recommended Posts

Posted

I would like to fit one to the Toledo for Prat Nav and so on, I am trying to find one complete with a bracket to fit but they all seem quite cheap and nasty on eBay.

 

Anyone know of a good sturdy, decent quality one?

 

This is on eBay but it looks a bit meh!

Does your Sat Nav run from USB?

USB sockets are easier to hide, the conversion from 12v to 5v can be done behind the scenes rather than a huge plug dangling out of the dashboard. Quote often they'll fit into a switch blank or something.

Nah, it's an old skool big pluggy thingy :(

If it has a USB socket the other end you can lob that away though, that's what I've done with my dash cam. Came with a HUUUGE cag lighter power source but that just drops 12v to 5v and has a Micro USB port on the end.

 

I just have two USB ports dangling in the glovebox that I wired into the fuse box on a switched live, but you could araldite them into a switch blank
