USB-C charging for smartphone
I have a Pixel 2, and figured it'd work great as a basic GPS and nav device for my new-to-me 2018 EC300.
What are my options to add charging capability? I searched this forum but other than some questions on GPS devices, didn't find much on the topic. Pretty sure the stock charger offers 18w power delivery. I don't know what my car charger in the 12v socket does, but that's more than enough. Obviously I'd prefer not to hardwire something to the battery. Thanks for any help! |

I haven't done it before but I would probably go with something like this:

That looks like the exact one I have on my bike. I got mine here...
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I use something similar on my CRF450x, and on a couple other bikes before that. It's worked brilliantly for five years and probably 15,000 offroad miles. (I can't get a mile away from the truck without having to use my phone GPS to get back). Oddly enough, after I installed this on my EC300, I started having electrical gremlins. Don't think it's related, but just odd. See my post... |
