Close-up of the USB port. You can see an "orientation" tab on the assembly. This is to keep it from spinning once it is installed. We like this.

filed a small orientation slot in the 3/4" hole. Be very careful when you file this slot 'cause once it's in, that's how your USB port will be oriented.

the back of the USB port. You can see the spring tabs that keep it snug against the trim piece.

The hole for the power outlet needs to be 7/8". This is a wood bit but it can be used on plastic if you are very careful.

A deburring tool. I recommend one of these for any tool box. Especially if you're the kind of guy who uses wood bits on plastic.

The plug for the radio. The white/green wire is hot all the time and is fused.
