havent seen anything on here so i figure id post a little write up

first i took a old cell phone car charger and cut most of the wire of the end of it, then i opened up the case and took out the components very carefully so i didnt screw up the wiring going towards the power and ground

then i took a few butt conectors and crimped my wires together using two old usb wires i had laying around

tried it all out and it works

my next step is to mount the female usb in my center console and wire the power wires to my cigerette lighter

What about the hideous part coming out of the power outlet?

99WhiteLightning

i was just using that to test the charger out that will be going back in to the parts bin when i get done like i said its all gonna be hidden

if macgyver made it, it would be made out of a toothpick, a gum wrapper and some string
