Default USB for 6v positive ground

Here is a solution to phone charging on a 6 volt car.
The green one is one I modified internally for 6 volt positive ground.
I took the other apart to show how it works charging my L.E.D. worklight, it will get mounted on some plastic insulator and get mounted under the dash. Both adapters came from the dollar store.

Thanks for sharing.

Just throwing out another option. Powerful portable chargers/batteries are available from places like Monoprice for under $10. No need to run wiring or modify your harness.

Wireless bluetooth speakers from JBL sound better than most car stereos and can go under a seat if you want music as well.
