I fed two USB ports from my Pioneer head unit and positioned them in the box at the rear of the central tunnel. They act as charging ports or USB device connections (Flash sticks etc.)
Also moved the 12v socket from the door to under the dash, because any wiring got in the way when you opened the door.

Get a QC3 compatible one, to avoid any low output USB sockets.

Make sure they go off with the ignition too as they have a small transformer in to get from 12v to 5v and it will run your battery down.

I have fitted a couple on my Griffith, although the dash is different perhaps useful:

I wanted to keep mine looking original so I fitted them in the glove box. Easy to plug your phone in and have the lead coming out the glove box even when it is shut. We are lucky for TVR panel fit.

You asked for photos so I thought I would oblige smile
The switches turn footwell and engine bay lights on/off , USB ports are at the front


I have a number of other non std features, including TVR logo'd puddle lights, Andersen connector and Battery Isolation key under passenger dash
