Vimar phone jack conversion to usb

@Blueone You need to remove the phone jack and the 2 half spacers on each side of the phone jack. Then you should have room for 2 Vimar USB’s side-by-side.

 

I did this but I could not reuse the same brush metal plate. Doesn't look like they make a double that fits what you have there. I had to get a different, darker looking plate. Both were tucked away so I didn't mind. Fixture was a double with a high voltage usb outlet. I believe this one below.

Have any 12v plugs in the cabin?

This was a direct replacement for me.

I did this conversion using this guy: www.vimar.com/en/int/catalog/product/index/liv/L1040?page=9



Only a single but a drop-in Vimar Idea series with the same look and feel.

This outlet is near the entertainment equipment so I wired the the USB jack to the Fusion head unit USB input. Charges and also can be used to serve MP3s.

I put a simple dual-USB charger where the original 3.5mm stereo jack audio input was.

 

Yeah, that’s not gonna work. Sorry about that. What I did on my boat is remove the center blank from a 2 electrical-outlet and put the USB in between the 2 outlets. You need 120v anyway, so the splicing is easy. You can essentially put USB ports wherever you have an electrical outlet. I have one in the MSR, GSR and galley.

 

Are you sure this https://www.vimar.com/en/int/catalog/product/index/code/20295 wont work if you take those 2 pieces out just inboard of the 2 screws in your pic?

 

I don’t think that will work. It is the Eikon series, and Sea Ray uses the Idea series. I suppose you could by an Eikon base plate and cover plate, but it wouldn’t match. I’m under the impression Blue wants to use the basic setup that he has.
