I think that is probably the best idea... I did not for 2 reasons. #1. I thought i would be adding / removing the usb drive more than I now realize will be the case...
Second, I already installed a second 12V plug in that location....
I sitll could have probably fit the USB in there though so If i had to do it over I probably would try to do that....
