foster461 Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 That is a nice outlet Paul. Android phones used for navigation need a lot of amps so you have a chance with the 2.1A USB socket to at least stop the phone from discharging when using Waze or Google maps.

TorontoTim Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I'm going to put one of these where the ashtray currently is. Slightly wider by a 10mm but will be more use. Silly question, maybe, but won't the outputs get in the way of various dash switches or even the gear lever? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulAnderson Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Ignoring the mount and strange design (though I've not seen it in the flesh), this unit from Maplins http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/maplin-motorbike-usb-charger-2-port-n73dp suggests a range of potentially useful features such as. Voltage protection makes sure there is enough power left to start the motorbike.Artificial intelligence loading detection ability so it only draws power if a device is connectedDelay Charger’s Power On And Off Make sure there are enough stable voltage, protect the devices. LED Indication Are these genuinely useful for a TR application? Paul, did that double unit get fitted and were there any size problems? Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TR4A1965 Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 We've gone for a 'Hidden int he glove box' solution. Found a really cool double socket with a volt meter in it too. The volt meter acts as a handy light in the glove box. It is also useful as we have alternator conversion now and it gives us a voltage reading. Our amp gauge is just a gauge now not really telling us that much. The aux socket has 2 usb ports and a 12v cigar socket. I paid £6.99 for it on eBay. I bought 2 as I used the second mounting plat to provide a backing plate so there was a plate each side of the card glovebox to add rigidity. So it cost me £14 all in. You can see it here and some solutions from others as well as a couple of wiring diagrams. http://tr4a.weebly.com/tr4a-cigar-lighter-and-aux.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
