Didn’t take any pictures of the install.I’d like more information on these, where did you get the usb ports, where did you tap into a power source?
Got the USB ports from Amazon. They are flat mount. Require one hole for wires and two holes for the screws.
My mirror is just a mirror. No electronics. When you pull the center panel, there is a connector attached to the air bag light. It has both a switched and constant 12 volt source. Also a ground. The wires were there, just not hooked up to anything. If you have a fancy mirror, the wires may be used.
I used vampire taps (I hate them but they are easy) on the Jeep wiring harness and ran the wires to the USB ports.
Around the mirror is a small trim piece. I figured if I messed it up, it wouldn’t be too expensive to replace. I had to remove the mirror to get that panel loose. Easy to remove mirror ( I found a video on line). I carefully marked where the hole would go and used a drill press for accuracy. Put it all together.
Tested everything and it all worked. Put it all together and no power to the ports. Pulled it back out, pulled on the wires in the vampire taps and it had power. Did I say I hate vampire taps?
