Is there a DIY thread to install the US model USB port to the Canadian model?

I wish the USB was in the glove box in the US...our Lancer has it there and it's great "out of sight out of mind" comfort. Plus you don't have to look for a place to put the ipod or get a tiny USB.

does anyone have a picture of the glove box connections? I have a US version and Can picture where they would mount a USB and Aux Port in the glovebox.

I guess if I installed an aftermarket head unit with dual USB ports I could maybe source a CanSpec glovebox.

I expect it's probably a traffic safety thing. Probably along the lines of thinking "if your phones plugged in in the glovebox you can't mess with it."
