YARIS/VITZ 2006 - USB Connector on Dashboard or Console - Toyota Yaris Forums

sıɹɐʎ · 10-17-2009, 05:32 PM

I have a head unit with rear USB input. I ran a USB extension cable to the center console and dremeled out a hole in one of the accessory covers to place the female end of the extension cable. I super-glued the extension cord in and then used high-temp hot glue for support. I think it turned out well; it works perfectly, and is tug resistant.

Like you, I also considered the pop-out piece next to the lighter jack, but it's part of the center console, and, aside from gluing it back in, you can't replace it individually. I chose to make my own using an accessory panel cover because they can be replaced for just $5 USD. If you're looking for something with more of an OEM style, IsLNdbOi suggested this on another thread.
