I picked this adapter up Dirt Cheap. I did not know what I was going to do with it. i had to file to outside diameter a little to make it a good fit. ATTACH=CONFIG]64766[/ATTACH]64767647686476964770

Nice! That’s a popular mod. I use mine a lot, especially if I’m using my phone as a GPS.

Very cool! I like that you filed it down and retained the factory light ring.

I opted for a USB 3.0 Quick Charge outlet with Voltage readout. This allows me to keep tabs on how much voltage the alternator is putting out which puts my mind at ease. Not near my car but this is the only picture I have of it at the moment since its a very recent mod.

I have one of these in my Firebird. It sits down in there.

I just purchased this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DXGQRB2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

The plan is to connect it to a radio that has Apple Car using the data port and having the charge only port for a passenger to use.
