How to replace the Cigarette Lighter with a USB PORT
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- That install was on a 2005 nissan altima if you didn't know. Also test if it actually charging i didn't have a usb cable on hand to show, so make sure you test that before rapping everything up.

Great tutorial! Replaced a non-functioning Miata MX5 lighter with a charging plug. Your directions were very helpful. Thank you!
patreskapapers Anytime 💪🏽
My OCD was kicking in when you installed it crooked like that 😂
The whole never matters perfection, as long as it is covered completely. Plumbing you always cut a square out of sewer main, and a coupler wraps around it, sealed by a gasket, and 2 metal tension bands.
3 years later, good video. Going to do this in my truck.......
Hell, this mate just goes off and replaces the entire thing! Genius! :) Think that's what I"m going to do. Sick of the socket not holding my USB
Just been looking at these, think I'll be ordering 3 of them!!!
Oh and invest in a step cutter, goes in a drill and allows making holes wider without all that dremel action 😁
Wow, just ran into this video and it's a game changer!!! Of course it's now 2022 and I used a dual USB 3.0 fast charging socket, but had I not ran into this video, I would've never thought of this! Good looking out!
💪🏽
I got a USB pass through. Connects to my stereo for wired Android Auto and Car Play.
For the test light to actually work, open your hood, connect the negative to the negative terminal on your battery. You may need an extension for it to reqch thats fine. Then take your positive test light wire and touch the wire one at a time to see which one lights up. The one that lights up is your positive. The one that doesnt light up is your negative. In his test all he did was complete the circuit which is why it lit up both times
you certainly do NOT need to go all the way to the battery for a ground. Touch the ground lead from the test light to any metal on the car. The metal is grounded back to the battery.
Would've been nice if they made those USB extensions/adapters just that little bit thinner to pass through those cigarette lighter socket holes.
How do you determine which wire is ground? When you tested each cable, the light came on both times!
Completed circuit
Black wire is almost always ground on vehicles
The best way to test is to test from a wire to a known ground such as a metal bracket. When you get the light or a power reading that is power. If you get nothing that is ground.
He tested power to ground and ground to power so it was confusing if you didn’t see it.
Clean install, thank you for the tutorial
The test light just shows a complete circuit. It lights up either way.
How do I stop it bein permanently on as mine the same as the 1uhave got
Im going to do this to my toyota 4runner
Hi, Nice video. Can you play music from usb drive using this as well??
HELP. I PUT IN NEW RADIO, DOES THIS MAKE THE ENGINE FASTER???
They do make usb charger that PLUG IN to the lighter, you know. Get one of those, and you can charge USB, use the lighter, and power other 12v things.
Just buy an adapter.
If you don't smoke, and don't want an adapter this is the way to go.
@@devisissy1 But then you can't plug in any 12v accessory.
@@devisissy1 I watch the Scotty Kilmer video on this subject and apparently you have to be careful not to buy a cheap adapter because it can mess things up in regards to your car computer module. Do you have any idea how to figure out which adapters are safe to use. Scotty linked to one but amazon no longer sells it
usb part……..DUAL🗣️. instantly hooked
that led light, is a killer, is there a way to shut it off?
I freaked out when you started drilling cause I thought it might come out dumb, but it looked almost factory so shows how much I know lol.
BRUH. May you please consider doing a video on getting the Nissan Altima SER 3 gauges to turn back on. Potential problems and why they randomly turn off and such. Thanks!
Sweet. Perfect tutorial. Thanks.
I connected everything and it lights up but no power can anyone give me any help and mine has a ground wire as well
Good video but the hole after you made it wider killed me lol
Good job, nice video, what do the 2 different amp readings mean on the usb port you installed?
Great for those with a broken lighter..
Why wouldn't you just get a dual usb charger that goes in the cigarette lighter?
Because sometimes the cigarette lighter socket wears out, and no longer provides constant contact.
Super, man. Thanks for the tutorial helped me a lot.
Now what happens when you need a 12 volt load, you have no source. Should have just installed it on its own fuse. Can make it look stock anywhere.
I Have a second one for that
Yeah there gaudier, the female cigarette adapters. They should be under panel on all vehicles, with USB in dash, and back of the arm rest/cabin
My 08 Tacoma has a separate 12v female and a cig lighter. I’m also going to delete cig lighter. Looks ancient. Lol
Most vehicles have more than 1 12v plug....normally you have one in the front and one in the back.
good video thanks dawg
Don't be stupid people just buy a dual USB accessory that goes into the cigar lighter and keeps it because if you blow a tire you might wanna have a small 12V compressor inside your trunk and a cigarette lighter to power it and be able to inflate your spare wheel that will be (obviously because you need it) deflated. ;)
Some cars like my f10 535 got 3 or 4 12v sockets. I wouldnt do this but if u got some sockets to burn and want to fuck it
The stupid thing is putting a 12v compressor into a cigarette lighter. Get one that connects directly to the battery terminals.
What's stupid...is having a adapter sticking out....some people want a clean factory look....not some cheap part.
Plus a huge majority of cars have more than 1 12v outlet. My 07 HHR has 3.
@@perryh.5306 Yeah sure, because your fifteen years old garbage on wheels do deserve a "clean factory look".
that screwdriver light was dope what's it called?
Matt's Place Lmao that’s a test light
@@JulesMechanics dam dude, the more you know :D
great work
Maybe you can help I have an 08 Titan trying to put one of these in and there’s power to the wires but won’t power the plug itself unless I have my test light touching one of the metal pieces inside of it
That’s weird u got a good ground?... or could be the plug itself be defective cause it should power up
Right heee right heee
What kind of tip is that for the drill please brotha
He used an aluminum oxide grinding tip but messed up the plastic. Best to use a step bit (Christmas tree) bit…much easier and more precise.
“Right heh” lol 😂
whered u get the usb?
..supposee to unscrew inside silver part counter clockwise and take out the front instead of break black tabs. Nice video though..
Can this usb ports b used as a media to play songs from the USB? Cos my car don't have the original USB option on the stereo. It's just aux or CD. Wondering if I go through all of this effort and then find out that I can't play the USB songs. Will b mad af
No u can’t
@@JulesMechanics well that's a bummer but thanks for quick reply. Appreciate
It's just a charger.
Damn thanks man
Is it only for charging or can you listen to music too?
Just charging
aye why you fckin with the shift knob 😭
does it charge your phone when the car is off? do you need to turn your key on in order to turn on to charge?
Key have to be on
@@JulesMechanics hey man. i bought one but i had open it to cut the led lights off. i couldn't stand the brightness of the led light. mine was on even with the car turned off. because it is connected where i used to have my cigarette lighter socket. the cigarette lighter socket still provided power even when the car was off. but with this new usb socket, i had to break the led off so i wouldn't have that bright light. it was blinding the shit out of me. thanks to your video i decided to get one too. works great and charges great too. but i had to get rid of that bright led light. plus, it would have probably caused to drain my battery if that led light stayed on all night. i prefer darkness in the interior of my car when i drive at night. i even dim the dash lights when i drive at night to a limit where i can barely read the mph when i drive.
@@EnriqueSanchez weird maybe your car different but they do sell them with no led light on it
@@JulesMechanics yes i'm going to look for one without led for my wife's car. she wants to put one in her car as well.
Did this ever cause you to pop any fuses?
Nope
Do they make it with no led? My cigarrette lighters are always on
Pretty sure they do
Or just paint over the led with black paint
Thank
Do you need to disconnect car battery??
If u want
Nice job
What was that wire tester thing called?
Test light
that's great work
Good job
Buy a hole saw for a drill don’t use a dremel tool.
Comedy Gold Star Sticker Banana Stickers for Everyone 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great Video. Just wondering is there a way to wire the new USB charger so it’s not always powered when the car is on? I’d like it to only work when your device is charging
Jerry I I’m not sure bout that only know this way
Jerry, you could wire in a toggle switch and cut a hole for it
There is something with the fuse amperage on this.
They make them with a on/off switch....I have one in my HHR!
Crazy how now it's 2022 I use dual I got from Walmart 😂
Is there some option to turn of led light or delete it?
Goran Rastoka Nope unless u find one without it
Black paint or tape will do
Men you good
There is a special tool that removes the cigarette lighter socket .
Nice!
Easier to buy a cigar lighter to usb plug 5 second install.
looks wack doe...
Those things usually don't last too long either.....the push pin will break or stop working. This set-up is the way to go for a clean factory look!
You are the best!
İyi olmuş
Wawoo
Money man in the background 👌🏾
Dude it looks like your Dremal has Googly eyes.... lol.. ps... canacandies don't help either
that shit looks fucking horrible
WTF?? Why not just get a usb char....forget it. Smh
Thanks for kindness
Thanks for kind
