Is there a powered USB (all the time)?

[straycatboat]

I have a 2023 base SAS and the USB under the radio is only powered when the vehicle is on.
I am looking for one that is powered all the time for my phone holder/charger.

I use the aux power that's in the back of the console with a car charger. I assume every model has this, but maybe not. There's even a little passthrough notch to allow the cable to go through.

None of them stay on for more than an hour or two(?), however using forescan that can be changed to 24 hours (?).

Is there anyone with a Forscan that lives close to Sebatian , Fl that can help me reprogram some .?

This one is powered all the time and cheaper and easier than forscan

That may be true, but its bulky and unsightly.

Without even searching to verify, I'm 100% certain there have been installs of constant on and propely powred USB/USB-C ports.
(the factory usb ports are weak, even the C version is powered less than what the minimum standard calls for. Actually, it shares the weak power supply with the standard USB port, ..... according to what I've read.)

Where did you get this?
It could work

Ordered it from Amazon. Punched through the firewall grommet and wired directly to the battery

contrary to combustion kings thoughts, it is neither bulky nor unsightly
A little bigger than a pack of cigarettes and isn’t really noticeable
