Ok 68 views and no replies. So here go kinda what I'm going to do. Going out to Colorado next year from Ga. I have the Bulletproof Mounting phone and GoPro mount right now, and love it. Going to get the mount they just came out with for the passenger side dash pocket to mount a iPad. I don't like all the charging cables hanging all over the place. I've have not decided on a USB socket yet. It will be one that will mount semi flush to the bottom of the dash pocket. I have decided on cables. they will be usb to usb-c short cables. https://www.amazon.com/SUNGUY-Braid...B0784F9JP2/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid
will get a USB-C to Lighting adapter for the iPad. https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Basevs-Support-Charging-Compatible/dp/B07Y83YXYK/ref=asc_df_B07Y83YXYK/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=385184478202&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3374047787658707205&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9010838&hvtargid=pla-833432285179&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=77282054623&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=385184478202&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3374047787658707205&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9010838&hvtargid=pla-833432285179
The Bulletproof passenger side mount. https://www.bulletproofmountingsolutions.com/collections/jeep-wrangler-jl-and-jlu-2018/products/universal-phone-mount-holder-for-2018-jl-jlu-jeep-wrangler-and-jt-gladiator-single-ball-passenger-side
Last will be the 67 Designs iPad mount for the 6th Gen. https://www.67d.com/collections/ipad/products/holder-for-apple-ipad-9-7-retina-naked
Ive looked at doing a RAM mount but would still have to get a adapter from 67 designs to go to the 1" ball on the RAM.

I just ordered the Bulletproof 2 ball driver's side mount and found your post. I have this USB port from a previous project that I think will work well since I just want power not USB connectivity to the head unit (Uconnect 5"). I'll use a short USB-C cord for my Pixel2 and a USB-A to Lightning cord for iphone.

Is this 3-D printed? Are you selling them?
Yes it is 3D printed, I have not decided If I am going to sell them. I have it in my Jeep testing right now for strength. I have it designed for both Driver and Passenger sides.

Test fit of the Bulletproof phone mount but ran out of time to do the USB port. Maybe tonight I can take the dash apart, anyone have a link to a good tutorial? Thinking of tapping into the keyed cigarette lighter but I also have the AUX switches and feed as an alternative source.

This is a radio removal but it shows most everthing to remove the dash.

Great write up and tips! I'm going to do this same thing, but I want to install this combo 12V/Dual USB, assuming there's room.

Jeep Wrangler JL USB in dash pocket. 12VCOMBO-B


I think if there is space for one of these sockets, there should be room for two, and I like the clean trim plate. I'll probably replace the 12v socket with another dual USB socket. I'm going to try to figure out how to pull the CarPlay plug-in from the console area to the top of the dash, too. I'm surprised (or maybe I missed) that nobody has yet tried to do the same with the CarPlay/Android input.

@Bardog The OP in this thread did intercept the USB feed for a different purpose, but I suspect that if you were creative, something similar could route the USB to the top of the dash.
