    Turning off the center console USB port

    LOL: gee never even thought of that. Just kidding. It is a pain to open the console, take out the tray, fish down to find the plug and pull it out. Then have to do the reverse to turn it back on. Where the holder is mounted it is about the same pain to unplug it. So a simple switch solves all...

    Turning off the center console USB port

    i would never just leave the phone on the charger all the time ??? But the holder does draw power while it is plugged in and has an LED on it. As I don't drive it for months i don't want any parasitic draw. I thought this was a simple yes/no question as to if the power outlet could be set to...

    Turning off the center console USB port

    i just ordered up a switched USB A to USB C cable so I can turn it on and off. Another thread suggested that I jumper the F14 and F15 terminals to which ever one is switched and then it will turn off with the key. I am a bit gun shy as my 2016 F150 will kill the battery if i don't drive it...

    I have a 2013 2dr JK and an putting in a powered Phone holder like in my other vehicles. I have it plugged into the USB port inside the center console. The problem is that port is hot and has power all of the time. I don't want to run the battery down and need help figuring out how to make the...
