Anybody replaced the USB socket unit in the storage box? If so:

1. What has to be removed...what fasteners and parts around it. Any diagram anywhere - removal sequence?
2. Where to get a replacement unit other than Nissan?

I note my USB unit was adrift and plugging a 30cm USB male to female cable into showed its very weakness. Think its semi mangled internally.

Beginning to think this is part of the USB Stick recognition failures we see....

If you pull the back of the armrest off you'll see everything you need to. Easy to replace they just clip into the plastic trim. Not sure how much the replacments are though. I added to extra usb ports to the back of my trim best £20 i spent on adding to extra ports 😁

Which USB port did you buy and from where? Got a picture of it?

Not the same on the J11b as on your QQ where indeed it is just behind the back panel.

For the J11b you should pull of the central part of the arm rest, where the cupholders are. Then you can see and access the USB port as well.
In order to remove this part. Just pull. :lol:

I did open it in order to wire my 12V in the trunk to here but I didn't took any pictures/video's I'm afraid.

That's the one that goes on the backpanel of the armrest.
He searches the one that is inside the armrest if I understood correctly. ;)
