I added a USB outlet on the face of the ash tray in our 940's

When I installed dash cams in our 940's I needed to add an additional USB port. I had previously used a plug in on the cigarette lighter for a single USB source.

I found numerous dual port USB outlets available on Amazon. I was able to use a die grinder to cut away a portion of the ashtray and install the outlets after using a hole saw on the face.

The bonus was that I now have a small digital voltmeter available to monitor the electrical system. I need to cut the cover off because it is useless when anything is plugged in.
