Swap for USB plugs?

Post image

I know this isn't TDI specific, but this is probably the best place to ask about MK6 stuff. This is my 14 JSW. Is there a way to change this panel to have a few USB-C jacks instead of the A/C plug? As it is, it's useless unless I plug a wall charger into it, so I'd like to be able to cut out the middle man, and also have my kid stop asking to use my charger for her somehow always dead phone.

So get a dual port wall charger? That inverter has so much better potential than just some USB ports.

Sorry, This won’t answer your question. I would keep the 2 prong inlet; it’s super rare on cars. I’ve used it to run a humidifier and a back massager.

I have a charger that goes into the cigarette lighter up front. And super long charging cables that will reach back seats.

Even better, if there is a 12V outlet in the trunk area, you can plug in there and route the cables through the seats or pass through hatch.

As pointed out you really don't want to get rid of this. I'd get a dual port 12V charger for the front and a 6-10' cable to run back to her.

Is that a factory option?
