Wiring in extra USB charging

[MooLard]

Good afternoon, can anyone recommend a good location on the fuseboard for adding in a USB charger? I've just ordered a dual ciggy one that does a total of 3.1 amps but want to have it sat under the arm-rest hardwired in rather than using up the lighter socket.
Cheers

Wire it into the light just pop it out and connect on

As above......tap off the cig lighter

Cool I will do, so it will take the current then? Many thanks!

The cig lighter has quite thick gauge wiring and will cope with the USB point without issue

Thank you very much for the reassurances I appreciate it, I'll find some similar gauge wire and make something neat for the task. I was going to surface mount it somewhere but I don't use the cubby thing under the arm rest so I'll just drop it in there with a small amount of free wire to pick it out and pop back.

Fitted and working! Easy access by removing the plastic below the handbrake lever! On reflection i probably have an excess of usb sockets now as my stereo has one on the front too...!
