USB-C connector for premium front console - no plans to release

That cable worked great for me. I had to shave away some of the surrounding plastic on the USB-C connector and shim underneath it to clear my case. One of the screw holes in the 2 piece clamshell holder had stripped, but I fixed that with a little epoxy in the hole.

I ended up picking up one of these:
Amazon.com: USB Type C Cable, CableCreation 4 Feet Dual Right Angle USB-C to USB-C Braided Cable, 90 Degree for New Macbook(Pro), Nexus 5X/6P & More,1.2M/ Space Gray Color with Aluminum Case: Computers & Accessories

This ended up working perfectly with a USB-C charger. No modifications needed. The plug fit really snug into the slot. Working perfect with my Galaxy S8.

Finally! Only 3 years after it started appearing on flagship phones too!

Sadly, it won't support high-speed charging since it's A to C, but bleeding edge technology beggars can't be choosers. It gives me hope that our next Tesla will have USB-C ports built right in.
You need to go full dash charging with the cig lighter socket OR do Qi.
