Those are very helpful photos Doug - thank you! In terms of space requirements - especially for the front seat ports, do you happen know if your USB charging ports were made by mid-continent, stratus or guardian?

Any chance to buy True Blue Power units as an end customer? They seem to be only selling to avionic shops. The price for TA 102 USB port from True Blue Power in Germany is 448€ (550US$).

Btw my maintenance today quoted for USB installment in the card slot left side 4.500€ (5.500US$). :scream:

I will find another legal way, for sure!

Doug: Thank you for your pictures. I want to have the ports in exactly the same locations, beside the rear port. Think it would be better on the right side, my kids, if only one flies with me like to sit right.

Bernie/Scott: Thank you. My choice will be the TA202 (Type A / Type C USB), think C is the future...

Looks like the rear USB installation should be in connection with a 200h check, then they have to dis-assemble the interior anyway. Looking for the right shop to do it...

Hello Colin,

Could you please send me a picture of the location of the USB port. I have two Stratus ports and am still struggling to find the right location. I don't think my DA42 has a cigarette lighter slot at all.

Regards,

Veeru
