Finally a fast charge USB to fit an 80 series cut out

[hammerheadfistpunch]

FYI - on my 97 you definitely had to trim to fit it in any of the knockouts.

Got it all wired up and it works great but the dash knockout needed to be trimmed for width and the coin knockout needed to be trimmed for width and to make the material a little thinner on the ends so that the barbs would bite. Mine are ignition hot on a relay circuit so no parasitic draw when off. They work great.

Just to piggyback on what @hammerheadfistpunch said. I too got this to fit in the coin slots with minor modification. I had to file about 0.5-1.0mm on both sides of the cutout. In addition to this I filed about 1mm on the top and bottom from the lip of the charger.

Fits like a glove.
Measurement of USB charger:

Measurement of coin slots. Notice the wider section at the top of the cutout. You basically file this smooth.

Cutout filed and ready for the USB charger:

File top and bottom of lip on charger. See the red arrows. I filed mine so the plastic was even with the rubber gasket.

So found this little gem on ebay:
Dual USB Charger/Audio Port Interface for Toyota Cars Blank Switch Hole #@

The reason I like it because my stereo has a USB port and I finally found a solution for a dual USB port with one actually connects to my stereo! Can't wait to try it out and say goodbye to the cig charger.

And for all you Toyota snobs and china haters:

OEM toyota USB and Aux plug part number is 86190-0C020

That oem Toyota one is not versatile. Requires another expensive cable with an odd ball JAE connector. And doesn't plug into 12v. Only into a late Toyota radio.

It's really just an aux/USB in to an oem radio.

The USB portion only needs a regular usb cable, it's the aux connection needs the fancy cable that only goes to Toyota radio......as far as I read on the forums and some pictures on the intertube.

I put mine in the power / 2nd button slot and it worked great. I had to file the plastic on both the switch and console.

Can the Toyota USB port mentioned above be used to charge a cell phone?

If it's connected to a stereo it should charge while playing music

Here is another option and what I will be using for my own projects going forward:

The big question is do these other less costly USB ports chipped to provide 2A to Apple products, I have found most dont.

Just installed the Blue Sea 1039 in my '94. I'm piggy backing off of the cigarette Lighter for now since I never use it anyway. The unit is a perfect fit in the switch location. Thanks for pointing me to it.

@bhicks makes them - great product line here

 

[Damienstreet]

Has anyone installed a blue sea USB into the cigarette lighter of a 1994 80 series?

 

[LC4LIFE]

I did in a 97 and with a little widening of the OEM hole, it fit just fine. Very nice product too.
