Bring your Vanagon into the 21st century! This clever snap-in addition to your dashboard replaces that dim (and no longer available) map light with a couple of new-fangled USB charging ports. One port nestles into the dash, and the other hides away in the glove box for discreet charging.

This functions like a standard USB charger. It can distribute up to 3A between the two ports—enough to charge two phones at once!

Kit Includes:

  • 12V to 5V USB converter
  • Two 5V/3A USB charge ports
  • Custom-printed nylon mounting plate
  • Screws to connect the charge port to the face plate
  • Detailed installation instructions

And another one

I can never have to many usb ports in my van, this one doesn’t get used unless there is a passenger, but it blends in perfectly like it came from the factory

Easy install

I like that you can buy a USB LED on off light. The install on our 85 Westy was a fit without needing to file it down. The extra wire into the glove box allows me to either charge a device in the glove box or light it up.

Great solution

My map light would turn its self on and drain my battery. This solves my problem and I can charge my devices win win! Very easy install

Good and well thought out

This product is good. I really like the idea and it is a pretty clean install that looks a lot better than the old dingy map light. Two things could make it better: 1. A cleaner 3d print, it looks a bit rough. 2. The tabs are kinda janky and take quite a bit of force to get in, to the point where it feels like you might break them. That being said, i don’t regret this purchase.

Great Idea! Could be better...

Overall I like the concept quite a bit. My only complaint is how it fits into the space left by the map light. The two side tabs are ok and they get the job done but they just don't feel very secure. I also wish the finish on the 3D printed part was better - it looks a little rough. A 3D printer using a finer nozzle could produce a cleaner end result without the need to do any additional finishing.

No complaints on the functionality though - the USB port charges my phone as advertised and having the extra charge port in the glove box is great when you don't want to leave your device charging out in the open.

Nice upgrade

Why wouldn’t I want more places to charge a phone?

Needed a extra charger.

If you have kids, then this is perfect for when you don't want them on there device. Sitting and charging while the read in the back.
Awsome idea.
Love the fact I can lock my pad in the glove box, while shopping.
