Does anyone know what this cutout is for? I was thinking about a second 12V socket running off the auxiliary battery? Is that a bad idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So go for it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had not seen USB with a voltmeter before. My model has 2 USB-A ports in the box above the steering wheel. But adding USB-C would be an improvement.

I have seen them in that location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
