Glove box USB

Hi all, first thread. So I owned my used FR-S about three days before I pulled the stock head unit out and installed a nice Kenwood Nav system. I work in real estate and need a good navigation system. On a side note I was surprised how good the stock speakers sounded with a good head unit driving them.... but I still ordered an OEM audio plus package. Anyway, back on topic, the Kenwood had two USB plugs. The first I connected to the stock, in dash USB port via a converter. The second one (connected to my iPod which lives in the glovebox) was just dangling in the glove box and I didn't like it. So I ordered a panel mount USB plug and an aluminum wall plate. I drilled a few holes and cut a hole and ta da no more dangling plug.
Now let's see if I can post some pics.

That's actually pretty cool. I dont need it for my FRs but my MR2 could use one of those instead of a loose cord poking out from behind the glovebox and tripping passengers getting out.
