DIY - A Pillar USB Charger - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

This is for GPS or phone charging.
It can make wires hidden.
Making a hole on A pillar and put in the usb charger there.
Power came from fuse.
Wire can go through A pillar.
Regardless of brand, U should have short charger(less than 2")

I don't get it, it's like an airplane charge plug - always put in the most odd places...

Just a wild guess, but but is that where you're going to plug in a GPS? I have my GPS mounted on the windshield right where you've got the plug, but this the only thing that makes sense. But then why not hard wire it? I :confused::confused::confused:

I have a phone mount right there and it'd be perfect to charge my phone! As territory rep I'm on the road and my phone A LOT and being able to charge it without taking it off the mount would be super!

Usually DIY's include install pictures and instructions.

I noticed the Brand says Belkin. Is this lightning?

For any device that you would mount to the windscreen using suction I reckon.

Hahahaha.....good one. On a serious note, either YOU aren't technically inclined and truly do not know ....or you just like jokes. Do you even know what it is how it relates to Belkin?

THe new Apple connector things right? I have a power brick from them and it works fine with the new things. The USB in my BRZ works fine with the new cable too.

Yep! You got it!

Apparently Belkin is like the only 3rd party company that's brave enough to tackle the new Technology.
