I'd like to add a Usb port to the Valk and the Subaru for charging the Ipod thingy. Would like something I can hardwire in, but don't know much about the USB thingy other that its built into the side of my computer.

Connect one to a relay from a fused wire from the battery triggered by the AUX wire. I have three USB ports, a power point and cig lighter connected to a fuse panel under the seat that's powered that way. With several fuses available you can connect other stuff down the road; like a port to charge your cell phone, GPS, sound system...

Mine looks like that, but with two USB ports. One runs my Ipod and the other my Garmin Zumo 220. I cut the cig lighter part off and wired it to my fuse panel.

I just wrapped one up for my son-in-law for Christmas. It has 2 USB ports and can charge 2.1 amps. Another one on the rack had a single USB and was rated at 1 amp.

I installed the Eklipes Cobra Chrome Motorcycle Power Adapter, it looks sharp and was cheap (have I ever mentioned I am cheap?). It has an on/off switch with LED indicator, plus the standard cig lighter and also a USB power port. It comes with a BMW jumper plug that handles over 2000 cranking amps for jump starting. It can be had for around $30, check eBay.

Nope, unfortunately the 12v plug only works for chargers and such, not lighters. Still, it is a pretty nice unit, especially with the BMW jump adapter. |
