Adding Vehicle USB Ports

Post by Jim1348 »

I know our Dodge Grand Caravan has a built in USB port in the dash. I am just wondering if anybody here has added any USB ports in vehicles for powering and/or charging GPS, cell phones, MP3 players, etc.? Also, do you know of any suppliers that make USB ports specifically for vehicle installations?
