Anyone have any info on if I can turn either of my 2 DC auxiliary power outlets into USB chargers. Minimal changes would be great...

Same works great and provides fast charge which the factory usb in the 3rd gen doesn'tI usually just run something like this.

I used one similar to this. It came out clean and works great.

Same wires from the cigarette lighter.This is what I was kinda looking for but i was wondering if I could just use the wires from the OEM plug or do I need to rewire it

maybe I’m just a lazy fuck...
What benefits does this have over a plug like I posted?
Yes you are lazy as fuck. Eventually the plug in one gets lose and won’t charge. The one I posted leaves a cleaner look.maybe I’m just a lazy fuck...

Nothing. One is hard wired, one is pop it into the existing plug. I have both in the 4runner. The hardwired one is live power, the plug in only works when the rig is on.
where’d you tap for constant power?
if I remember reading about this somewhere else a cigarette lighter or if you have one on your truck is constant power

That’s why I did the mod that I did. On my other Tacoma it was hot wired to the battery. It would charge the phone even with the truck turned off. That plug didn’t have a led display even though that is minimal amp draw.yes but as stated above one of my ports is not working all the time... i have to keep pushing the plugs back in from time to time to get them to turn on and charge my phone...
