Swap out console USB-A for USB-C port?

paquet · 05-01-2022, 09:00 AM

Anyone tried this?
I was looking at the video that showed how to remove the center console and it got me thinking.

I haven't yet looked at parts availability, but I'm assuming it's a standard swap with just the connector interface changing

Yes, it is a straight swap.

Definitely interested in that and what it would entail.
