Direct Wire USB Power

[maduko]

Found a great way to power my phone/dock instead of the typical cigarette lighter plug. For less than $5 on eBay you can pick up a cable with the required USB plug on one end, bare wires on the other and a 5 volt inline transformer.

I removed the trim panel on the LH end of the dash and the fusebox surround and managed to sneak the wire down past the A pillar. Tied into the power outlet fuse with a Low Profile fuse "add a circuit" thingy.

More details on the hardware here...
