Hi Alex,
Here is another mounting option. O=E2=80=99Reilly=E2=80=99s sells a USB rece=
ptacle that comes with a mounting bracket tha allows you to mount it to the b=
ottom of your cardboard glove box=20
. It is pretty unobtrusive but still completely accessible and it was only a=
bout $15.00 as I remember. That way you don=E2=80=99t have to screw around w=
ith your switch plinth. If you are interested, I can send you a picture. I j=
ust wired it into the switched 12 bolts.
