Does anyone know of other options out there that are both charging and data? Any advice is very appreciated.
Thanks for any help.

Dual USB Charger Audio Port Interface for Toyota Scion Car Blank Switch Hole US
Ordered something like that from China for the exact use case.

Data port would require that it is connected to a data source. So the head unit would have to have an input for the USB. My old JVC has two, one in back and one in front. Technically you could run that you have pictured as an "extension" type port.
3 Options I have thought of:
Put USB Port in Center Console then leave Ipod inside hidden.
Mount USB in side extra switch areas by locker switch
Get front mount USB on head unit and use cable to run to phone that sits in front of shifter or in console cubby.

correct. The data source will be the two usb cables running out of the back of the radio to the center console. I'm looking for a dual outlet plug I can attach to the inside of the console and then plug both usb cables into It.
That extension is the only thing I've seen that's close but I really don't need the extra cord that goes along with it.

I've thought about drilling a hole and just letting the end of the usb cable dangle around the inside of the console but I'd rather have a port mounted flush to the side to keep things tidy. Then I have the option of keeping my phone completely hidden in he console or it can be set out and still connected via its smaller charging cord if needed.
I'd rather not mount the usbs in the dash. Trying to keep cords out of the way.
Ah ok... so you are just looking for the plate with the plugs (or ability to mount the plugs) not necessarily something like you posted. If your cables are long enough already you may be able to purchase something like what @Qball posted and just remove the USB plugs from it to utilize the face plate.

Yes. The thing I posted is the only panel mounted port I could find that does what I would like.
Sorry, my terminology is probably all wrong making this a lot more confusing than it should be.
As an idea, I have found dual ports where one port is an extension for the stereo and the other is a simple charger.
If you used two of these you could mount one in the center console and another on the outside of the console or in the dash. I think you will find that a couple extra charging ports will be useful to you and your passengers.

Thank you. You're probably correct. I've been eyeing qballs link above.
Out of curiosity did you ever find USB ports that fit in an 80's dash blank? I think I saw you asking that in another thread while I was searching.
Interesting because I only want 1 sub because my stereo only has 1 Usb and I want the 2 amp charger port without connecting to anything for accessories
