I will run a separate fee line from the fuse box, hence a relay and separate dedicated fuse. Just me, I know there is not need but you can never be too safe in a electric circuit, extra layer of safety that's all but in reality a 20 amp fuse will be plenty protection for a low draw circuit like this

Paul in the UK sells 2 connectors that fit the 2 unused ports on the interior fuse box.

Here is his email.

Here are pics of Paul's connectors. He also gives you the breakdown of what wires are what.

This is for S12:

The circuits are as follows -

Terminal-5 - Live - ignition switched (position 1 on ignition switch), via fuse F27 (10 Amps)

Terminal-4 - Live - permanent, via fuse F20 (15 Amps)

Terminal-3 - Live - switched, from auxiliary circuits relay, via fuse F15 (20 Amps)

Terminal-2 - Live - from main lighting switch (sidelights position), via fuse F33 (10 Amps)

Terminal-1 - Earth - via C0583 to C0017-1 (Earth Header) on 3.0mm˛ cable

I followed fishEH's install, but only put in the double usb port, since the stock one is real close. I also went with the connectors that abran posted about from Paul. The whole thing took 15 minutes. I also used the 15 amp pin, that is live at all times, since the stock one is switched.
