Hardwiring a USB port
I want to add a usb port into my 04 G so that I can use an ipod dock in addition to my AAI NIS2 aux in.
Here is what I am thinking. Cut up a female usb connector that I have so I can get the wires. Then I need to wire the positive to a 5V source behind the dash and ground the negative. Are there any 5V sources I could use or should I just use a resistor and tap a 12V source like the radio? Would I run into any problems doing this?
Here is the usb pinout
