Front USB on a Pioneer 5050UB

blueraven316 · 3rd July 2008, 14:02

Some minor mods can be done on any car's centre console and a front loading USB can be made for any car, this is for some people who dont feel comfy with the dangling extension USB thing.
The steps are below on how to do it,

A cut has to be made just about big enough for the male USB jack to pass, and so that the Female USB jack does not come out.

Couple of holes have to be made so that cable ties can be passed through, and it has to be reinforced on the plastic body using a Glue Gun.

very interesting and neatly done. its innovative also . the dangling extension apart from being not so comfy, is an eyesore .
where did u get it done from?
anyway pics. are informative enough for anyone to replicate.

Nice modifications! By the way who did this modification & who suggested?

For some days some innovative approaches/modifications are coming in TeamBHP.

Nice job satya. A little bit of finishing on the console would make this a terrific 'must do'.

blueraven316 · 4th July 2008, 15:03

yeah, this was a quick effort without precision tools of that size, I have bought a needle file set for the job now.

Very neat look and indeed a brilliant ides to overcome the USB extension.

Excellent! How I wish you were in Delhi, Blueraven!! I would have sooo much more ICE... but on second thought, it's probably a good thing for my bank balance that you aren't!!!

Mushroomz · 4th July 2008, 22:14

Good work my friend !!
