I'd like to know how to do this too. I want to run the usb from the centre console to the cup holder cubby where I'll place an iPhone dock.

Just in case you weren't aware, there's another thread about dash cams which discusses connecting directly to the fusebox rather than via 12v socket.

Its easy.


Open stowage box,


Pull stowage box "metal" trim upwards, when lifted slightly, pull in lock tabs on the sides with screwdriver or similar to loosen it completely.


Unscrew the two bolts holding the center panel


Lift the panel carefully while disconnecting the electrical connectors.

There are 2 tabs on each side if I am not mistaken, you need to pull hard to get the first bit up.
