The other day I noticed that the second cigarette lighter port in a Sierra was actually the USB port. Has anyone tried converting one of the front two lighter slots to the USB port instead?

I don't know your goal, but that USB port hooks to the radio and if you hook an iPhone to it, you can play the music on your iPhone through the radio and control the selections with the steering wheel radio controls.

Can anyone get me a pic of the back of it or tell me if it is just a regular USB plug (I would assume female plug)
Thank you sir. I was going to try to make that plug part but now I will just order one and see what I can do with it.

It looks like you can use just the cover part and put in one of these http://www.amazon.com/SANOXY-USB-Fe...&sr=8-2&keywords=female+to+female+usb+adapter. I have that piece from when I was going to try this earlier so I may try it and see if it works.

So $5 for the cover and $30 for the USB port...
but like yates said, I'd like to see the back of the port and see how it hooks up. Might be stopping by the dealer tomorrow...
You would have to have some type of plastic something to hold it in place. Probably a lot cleaner to get the pieces form the dealer.
