2011 V50 Hook up 3rd party cigarette socket usb adapter

Post by PooYork »

Hi all,

I recently purchased this and am looking to hook it up.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B1D ... _qh_dp_hza

Thing is, I don't know how to run this cable to the fusebox or how to connect it. I was hoping to unplug the old cigarette socket and plug this one right in. but the plug is on a weird right angle. That said, I can be pretty handy, but I cannot find any guides for how to route new cable or what needs to be removed to make it happen.

Another option is to have a short male to female extension cable, but I cannot find a finished one anywhere, and don't know what the connector name is. I've been searching and have been unable to locate the name. I'm batting 1000 here :)

Does anyone have any advice for me, or documentation on how to run the wire?

Thank you!

Your easiest path would be tapping an existing (ideally unused) fuse with an add-a-circuit fuse tap. Search on Amazon for one.
