What do you want it to do?

If it is to connect to the radio, then obviously it will have to wire to the connector on the back of the radio, or just plug into the existing usb socket in the cubby above the radio.

If it is just power, then wouldn't it be easier to fit another 12V outlet in parallel with the existing one, and put usb power adaptor into it?

 

You can get adapters with two USB ports that fit into your cigar lighter. (that's if they call them that now?)No rewiring required

 

OK PhilT, what have you done to get more USB sockets in your Note?

 

It's nearly2 months since I asked "PhilT" to come back and tell uswhat he has done to get an extra USB socket in his Note, again, not even bothered to answer if he has sorted out his little problem.Why do we bother

 

I think he's solved it with this, oh grey one.

Oh terribly sorry all I have only received an email reply notification on this post. Apologies to replies ..about sockets yes you can buy but the wiring was vague so decided not to try it..and yes i had already the power socket adaptors but some get so hot when you have sat nav and phone charging on them at times. There is a break out small panel near the fuse box that takes a USB unit but I dont know about the wiring. I don't know why I did not have any notifications till now on this thread

 

Ok, thanks for getting back to us.

Shame that your original query was not resolved.

 

Cheers PhilT

. We get so many members coming in the forum asking a question then getting good advice, then not even telling us if the problem was resolved. It's always handy if we do get feed back as it can help further members with the same problem.Once again, thanks for coming back

That's modern technology for you, everything requires a USB socket

.

 

There you go "Boysie" your link is what I was talking about, problem solved and no wiring

 

OK, so I know this post is rather old now, but I hard wired 2 double usb sockets into my Peugeot, which I will be removing before handing the car over to the trader, and I will be hard wiring one, or maybe both into the Note. I'll post a how to and pics up during the job/when finished.


Here is a link to the ones I got.

Going back to "PhilT" problem. In the fuse box you have options, do you want power to the USB sockets on all the time or only on when the ignition is on?

 

I powered mine by connecting them to the cigarette lighter socket cabling. The ciggie socket is on the center console, just behind the gearstick on 206's, so there is easy access to the socket for power.

 

Here are some pics of my 2 sockets in the Peugeot, shortly before I removed them both.

 

And here is the finished produt. 2 x double usb sockets, powered by the cigarette lighter socket on the back end of the center console. Each outlet has 1 x 1A and 1 x 2.1A socket, with a blue led power on indicator and dust cover.


I also used a piggy back fuse holder in the fuse box for a powered mini usb cable for the sat nav, the cable comes out of the bottom of the driver's A pillar. Can add photos of that if anyone wants to view.


The O.P. can get a piggy back fuse holder and usb socket and put it where he originally enquired about.
