Audi C5 models (’98-04 A6 & ’99-05 allroad) came from the factory with various tech and gadgets however they lacked an easy access mobile phone/tablet/GPS USB Charger. Sure you could use the OEM lighter outlet however its’ location makes it cumbersome to have anything plugged into since it somewhat interferes with the gear shifter.

Cut by Caschy thereby introduces the USB Power Panel, version2. This version provides an updated fitment and a more OEM look. Version2 replaces your broken “e-brake”/”popup” cup-holder or navigation controls. THIS WILL NOT WORK IF YOU HAVE A CUBBY/STORAGE BIN or NAVIGATION CONTROLS w/PARKING SWITCH adjacent your ebrake!!!. You will also need to retain the OEM “cage” in your console since our USB Power Panel slides into this OEM piece. The USB Power Panel provides dual USB charging ports to charge your portable devices. The specifications for the charger are as follows:

  • 3.1A [15W] Dual-Port Turbo USB Car Charger charges two electronic devices simultaneously, eg. iPad, iPhone, iPod, MP3 Players, Digital Cameras, PDAs, Mobile Phones and other devices. (Up to 3.1 Amps for one port or split between two ports)
  • Sophisticated circuit design with over-heated, over-current, over-charging protection.

Optional – NFC (Near Field Communication) tag is available and placed underneath (hidden from view) the top trim piece allowing for the USB Power Panel to also function as an NFC communication tool. Not familiar with NFC? Read more here The tag will be mounted underneath the engraving of choice or if no engraving is chosen, underneath the top trim panel in front of the USB ports (side nearest front of vehicle). Only Samsung TecTiles ™ are utilized which should be compatible with a variety of different NFC capable devices however, please confirm your device’s compatibility.

What is included:

  • USB Power Panel constructed with 3D printed ABS and CNC cut modified acrylic with your choice of engraving on the black colored top trim piece which complements OEM interior colors
  • AGC fuse holder w/ 5A fuse
  • +/- wire leads ended w/Butt splice connectors
  • NFC Tag ready for writing (optional)

    Hello I bought front and rear badges for my allroad and I’m totally impressed by both the quality and the fit. I also bought the USB charger to replace the worthless cup holder that is located in the console. It fits and works great! No more plugging into the cigarette lighter anymore. Tony is a true craftsman it shows in his work.
    Thanks for your time.

    I bought the double USB charger because I hate having the ashtray open too plug into the cigarette lighter. This is a great product and the fit and finish is top notch.

    All good, easy to install and rich look, great way to clean up that center console.

    The dual USB panel is wonderful for replacing the worthless nav button or the worthless cup holder. The engraving looks great. The USB ports light up blue, which is different than the red lighting of my interior but I’ll live.

    Installed the USB cup holder replacement over the weekend. Couldn’t be happier with the quality of the piece. Now to find some power to connect it up.

    Five Stars!! ***** All looks good for the dual-socket USB.. now just waiting to install in a week or two. Looks like an exact fit too, will keep the charging wires out of the way too!
