what voltage do they provide at the usb output, are these plugs also chargers and provide 5V, mobile phones are charged at 5V, also dashcams...

[@briansibanda4969]

When you connected the twin wires to each usb.Which power source did you connect the usb cables to get power to light them up?Should have gone slow to show us that on the video

[@whatsdavedone104]

It piggy backs off the 12v socket (cig lighter) they light up when ignition is turned on as the 12v port is ignition live, not constantly live

[@briansibanda4969]

@@whatsdavedone104so does this mean when you used the cirgaret lighter to connect your usb cables.It means that your cigarette light port will not function as there is no power input there?Is that correct?

[@whatsdavedone104]

@briansibanda4969 cig pprt still has power along with the 2 usb ports, I can still use the 12v port and usbs at the same time

[@briansibanda4969]

@@whatsdavedone104 I seen u took of the power wire from the cigarette lighter and connected it to the twin USB A.So what will power that cigarette lighter port?

[@whatsdavedone104]

@briansibanda4969 it's a piggy back of harnesses...the cig lighter is using its original harness, then the USB ports piggy back of that....yes i unplugged the original harness to connect the usbs but then it plugs back in....it's like a daisy chain

[@LeCocoRain]

Great video for install but think somethings broken with my cigarette lighter as the power doesn’t come through the chargers. Any tips for sorting this out?

[@whatsdavedone104]

Does your cigarette lighter work? Maybe something isn't plugged in correctly 🤔

[@junedahmed8380]

Hi. Got some questions. 1. Does this affect how much power is delivered to the cigarette lighter? 2. Are these quality i.e. they won't damage any device that is connected to them? 3. Is there an option to get three of those ports for a VW MK5 Golf? I will be having two of the ports available to use for the car, but I want one port hidden underneath the console so that I can connect some footwell lights via USB. Would there be any issues since the footwell lights are 5V and this is a 12V connector?

[@whatsdavedone104]

Doesn't affect power out put to the 12v port. The 2 I have are linked in sequence...don't see why you could purchase a single and double and link the 3 together...footwear lights will work of of these

[@brkedz]

Hello, I installed the same USB ports on my Golf 4 car, but even though the car is not running, the USB port lights are on and never turn off and it continues to charge the phone. What could be the reason for this?

[@whatsdavedone104]

That will be because the golf mk4 12v port remains on even when the ignition is switch off....not sure off hand but I think the mk4 12v port fuse can be move so it ignition live instead of permanent live

[@maksmatviiv2802]

Please tell me, does it connect to the cigarette lighter?

[@whatsdavedone104]

Yes it piggy backs of the lighter, light port is still usable along with the 2 usb ports

[@UndisclosedGamer1]

Do you know if this will fit a Mk5 Golf as well?

[@whatsdavedone104]

Yes it fits mk5 golf

[@UndisclosedGamer1]

Thanks Dave, much appreciated👍🏻

There’s 5-6 options for usb, which option did you use? Non qc3? The double usb with one belt? Or what?

[@whatsdavedone104]

One belt TWO QC3.0 👍

[@delboysung]

Is there a way to stop the led from lighting up even when the car is off. I'm worried about the battery

[@whatsdavedone104]

What car have you installed it in? My MK6 12v port is ignition live, I am guessing your is constantly live 🙈

[@delboysung]

Erm a 2010 Scirocco. I think the light actually went off after a while..... Only just installed about 30 mins ago so not sure if it just stays on for 10 mins or something. It doesn't charge until I switch the car on though so maybe it's some sort of remaining power in the circuit?

[@whatsdavedone104]

@delboysung if it's not charging until ignition is on then there will be no battery drain, leds can hold a little power for a short time after power source is turned off.

[@aoxsystems]

Hey @depboysung does it charge while car is off? Planning to install on my scirocco too

[@whatsdavedone104]

@aoxsystems if you Cig lighter is ignition power only then no it won't charge with ignition off

[@ik8737]

@@whatsdavedone104 And Dave, one more question. Does the light turn off when you remove key?

Yes, it piggy backs off the 12v cigarette lighter. Ignition off no power to 12v

[@stevenwagner5263]

@Dave, I’ve connected a fuse adapter so my cigarette lighter stays on after shutting the car off and it doesn’t drain the batter. I’m curious once I toggle the usb into the lighter, would having those usb still on drain the battery?

[@golfzillah]

Hi, do you have any example of how it connects with the cig. Lighter unit? Could’nr get a really clear view on it connecting 😅

[@whatsdavedone104]

It's a straight forward piggy back from cig lighter to harness. Cig lighter still works after all is plugged in.

[@brianspark8741]

nice vid, thanks. 10 mins to fit but the finish isn't a good match for OEM. Still cant grumble at the price or with the install vid. Cheers

Thank you for this Vid, just fitted mine and moved my parking sensor to the middle, looks really good. The silver bendy clip that’s on the front and back of the parking sensor unit (to hold them in) the front one come off and I couldn’t get it back on, I’ve put it all back together and it seems fine, I guess it’s ok without it but any idea how you can put it back on the unit?

[@whatsdavedone104]

They are just clips to stop them from being pulled up and out...not got a clue how they go back on 🤷‍♂️

[@LordZozzy]

I'm thinking about getting the same charger's Type-C version, which advertises itself as USB-PD capable, but I have my doubts if it really is... Anyone with hands-on experience on those?

[@whatsdavedone104]

Yes it's usb-pd 3.0 fast changing

[@MarcosSage-gg8xz]

Do you know how much watts it gives? Is it safe to use if it's connected directly to the lighter without any electronic?
