Now I have a permanent 12V meter on the dash (looks like those plugs are connected to the chassis battery).
As a bonus the spade connectors fit the USB charger perfectly--all I had to do was unplug the 12V socket and plug in the USB charger.
Yes the Dremel made quick work of the hole but none of you mentioned the mess it would make LOL. 20,000 RPM shoots that stuff everywhere! We'll be finding black bits of plastic for a few seasons now.

I have a similar looking plug-in adapter in our Axis. Mine has 3 12v cigarette lighter type outlets plus some USB charging ports. I tried mounting plug box under the dash pocket that your cell phone is pictured in but the mounting tape strip supplied with the unit, along with 2 additional velcrow tabs didn't hold it and it came lose on our last trip with the Axis. I'd like to secure the plug box with a couple of screws but not sure there's room for that. Could also maybe fashion some sort of bracket to hold the plug box under the center dash panel. Where and how did you mount the plug box?
