USB ports

[214Chevy]

Guys, can anyone recommend a good USB port to install in my Camaro. I've seen a variety of choices on Amazon...some with good reviews and some not so good. I know at one point Ironworks was selling them, but don't see them on their website anymore. Does anyone have any recommendations or any real world experience with some?

not sure i'm answering what you're asking but I purchased a cheap 2 port from Amazon and mounted it in my shifter plate

One thing to think about is the USB 3.0 which most items these days require the higher output for fast charging. Here is an example of one with USB 3.0 that has a built in power switch. This model if wired thru a switched 12 volt source would need to be turned back on after every power cycle. There are other models that do not have the switch.

I have thought about doing this as well and thought about going to the local Pick-n-pull to find something GM & cut enough length of harness from it to splice in where I need it.

Edit. I have also purchased this from amazon for our boat. The radio is a pain to get to, so I mounted this where it has easy access so I can play/charge my phone through it.

Yes, you answered correctly. I want to mount mine in the console as well. Thanks!

I used this one on a mustang project. I mounted it in the cigarette lighter hole.
