Upper Dash Tray - adding power/usb

[romclean1]

I want to mount an amazon auto in the upper dash tray area.  It's the perfect spot for one, so that got me thinking a couple of USB ports would be cool too.   Has anyone taken that tray out, found any good spots for tapping into switched power ?  (or a route to the passenger side fuse box).    

 

thanks

Uh oh, I can’t be the only one that wants to see what’s under that tray ?  Has anyone else removed it ?

I'd like to know too......

Nice ride, I looked at a red trail boss, it literally glows.  They did a good job with color depth in the paint.  
 

Im hoping someone comes up with a tech document on that tray, but my trim tool is calling my name...may do some surgery this week.

Would have been nice if they included some kind of power port up there. A usb charging port has to cost very few cents.

Seriously !  I bought a couple of direct wire 12v usb devices, one that is a single USB port and another that provides a mini usb for a dash cam.  About $10 on Amazon.  
 

Also ordered the Gen5diy tap for the mirror power, but it ships usps slow motion mail, so who knows when it will arrive. That has an RJ11 connector for a radar detector and a 12v wire set.  
 

so I’ll put the mirror tap in and power dash cam and have the option of putting another usb/or 12v device up on the overhead console. 
 

still doesn’t solve the dash tray issue though.  Does anyone have a parts diagram of the upper dash or know where I might find one?

Has anyone done this yet?  I cannot find any information, but I'd like to do it as well.
