Thanks for the pictures. What’s the part number and where did you buy the USB A port for the front passenger dash port. Thanks
OK, After psyching myself up I got to work today on hooking up the replacement USB ports I ordered. I discovered I ordered USB-A instead of C, but it isn't that big of a deal to me and well couldn't return them anyway. That said. The hardest part obout this was getting the sticky foam/tape that was wrapped around the plug and folded back onto the wire through those tiny damn holes. There was some kind of foam, and then a ridiculously sticky tape around it. I'm sure if I had instructions I could have taken it apart more but I magically stuck my finger through the holes and picked at it, then got some regular scissors and snipped it a hundred times, and then hung ho'd the first one (and damaged the insulation some, electrical tape to the rescue) but I got the three ports installed in the missing position. I'm annoyed I had to do this still, but glad the connectors were there. Some photos that were taken in-between curse words and grunting. Really tore up my thumb on the front, it's a metal brace thing that you stick through and it's not sharp but it's not skin friendly when you're trying to pry.
Foam/Taped end stuck in the hole
after many colorful metaphors I got it out, not sure if you can see but I damaged the ground. wrapped that in electrical tape and put it back
first port in, testing with an old 3DS in case it fries it, it didn't!
with both in. I straightened out the hole plus
The front one. It's in there, but holy crap was that one harder to get too. But I got it eventually. The hardest part was pulling it through the METAL hole which bit my thoumb
all back in, and working great
only injury

The 128008 was A. I didn't catch that when I ordered, not a big deal to me as we have both cords everywhere. I doubt A charging cords will be gone before I buy another car

I collected my MY23.5 110 D250 X-Dynamic 3 weeks ago. The dealer made a special effort to alert me to this missing usb issue and provided me with a letter confirming the ports will be retrofitted when supplies are available.
Im not sure when that would be, or why I can buy them on eBay but JLR can not. But it’s encouraging to hear them confirm they will commit to fitting them for free.

PowerfulUK posted a video on adding USB to the passenger-side dash “shelf” location.
They remove the glove box to get to the power cable, but it looks like you could reach in through the hole with a small hook and grab it.
