ICESPRING 2 Ports USB 3.0 Extension Cable, Flush Mount Car Truck Boat Motorcycle Dashboard Panel Adapter-3 Feet

Purchased to replace cigar lighter in 2012 Ford Expedition when installing new head unit.Head unit has two USB connections and I didn't want extension cables running loose through dashboard cracks. This brings the USB ports to the front while eliminating a nearly useless cigar lighter. Provides for a super clean installation and connection/charging point that looks like it belongs!Data transfer seems to have no problems. Charges at full speed of the head unit's capabilities. Installs nice and clean. Wires are long enough to give lots of location options while still reaching the head unit's USB connections.Highly recommend for this application!***UPDATE APRIL 2025***This was originally purchased and installed in August 2020.In April 2025, nearly FIVE YEARS after installation, I started receiving 'USB OVERCURRENT DETECTED' alerts on my head unit. I believe this component has failed - AFTER NEARLY FIVE YEARS of DAILY use!! That is NOT a complaint!! It's a testament to the quality of this item!!I will be purchasing a replacement since this one lasted so long and has worked so well for it's entire time installed!One thing I have learned - I recently switched from Android to Apple and with my head unit (Kenwood Excelon DNX696S) only one port is compatible with Apple's CarPlay while Android Auto is usable on both. I am certain this is a head-unit thing and NOT this item, but thought it was noteworthy.

They worked good in my Nissan , I just had to disassemble my whole Inside compartment to drill a hole in it

Awesome product. Easy install

The USB wire plugged in snugly and worked very well. There was no wiggling or falling out when I plugged in my phone and I was using it to contact my new wireless car stereo and the pairing and communication went without a hitch. The plug mounted easily and seemingly securely with the small screws it came with and the wires seemed tough but pliable. I took away a star because I couldn't get the threaded ring on tightly enough by hand to stop the plug rotating in the mount. I am pretty sure I can remedy this with some tools though. I am pleased with the fit, function and quality of this USB extension plug and would recommend it to others if you are looking to add a plug or replace an existing plug.

I wanted my wife's cars new Kenwood to look as OEM as possible. So I wanted the input cables to be connected to a jack rather than just extending the cables into the cabin. I installed this on place off the cigarette lighter in the dash ... it fit perfectly and looks fabulous -- every bit as "factory" as the original lighter looked. Only better, since we used it for a charging port anyway.The quality seems to be excellent - better than I've seen. Nice thick cables a great length for the connection to the radio. Being a dual port design I was able to connect both rear USB connections and get them accessible. I didn't use the cover (the area was a little too small to get that part in) but of you have room the cover is a neat design - again, looks very OEM.I am very happy with this purchase, and I may buy another ... if I put a new Kenwood in my truck!

I purchased this with the intent of replacing the cigarette lighter port for a cleaner appearance and an easy connection to my aftermarket car stereo. Install was rather straight forward and it is serving it's role perfectly. If you feel that the USB port is not working, check your USB cable as there are specific types that will work with your iOS or Andriod phone. For example, I had to purchase a genuine Apple lighting cable in order for the interface to work correctly with the cables connecting to my stereo. It's a bit of an inconvenience but it is best to know rather than test it out, find out the interface does not work and get potentially led down the wrong path thinking that the cable or the stereo unit is defective.

I ordered different types of USB port outlets, but used this one because it has a nice cover lid and accessories, the product has a good quality feel to it.

I have a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Freedom Edition and I have tried 3 different Android Auto head units, each time reusing the console USB port in the Jeep by removing the Uconnect system. The Sony XAV-AX100 worked perfectly fine. The Sony XAV-AX5000 hardly worked at all. My current Alpine iLX-W650 was probably working well over 50% but still pretty problematic.I did a lot of troubleshooting, I made YouTube videos about it and posted on Jeep forums.I eventually decided the wiring for the console USB in the Jeep is just not compatible with Android Auto. I tried a few different options but wound up replacing the cigarette lighter port on the dash with a flush mount dual USB port. I have not had any Android Auto issues since the USB port install.I made a video of it on YouTube, but the video was too large to post here. I have included a picture of the thumbnail. You can search for "5after12" and you should be able to find it.I first tried just running a long USB extension cord from the back of the head unit to the area between the seat and the console, but it also had some issues. I assumed that was problematic due to the length.The benefits of this current setup is the relatively short wire run. The ICESPRING dual port USB has worked like a champ. I have one port connected directly to the head unit, and the other I plugged into a Samsung fast USB charger, and it works great. So the top port I can use for Car Play or Android Auto, and the bottom port I can use for fast charging. Since I switched to the USB cigarette lighter port I have had zero disconnects with Android Auto.
