How to Install a USB Socket on a Lancia Ypsilon MK2

Model: Lancia Ypsilon 843, MK 2, Ypsilon 2, Y2 - Years 2003-2011
Part: Checks and maintenance

Learn how to install a USB socket on a Lancia Ypsilon MK2, which does not have the pre-installation. First, solder the two wires to the positive and negative terminals, then you need to modify the dashboard to install the USB socket; you will need to make a hole to draw power directly from the cigarette lighter socket. Watch the video for the connection of the electrical connectors, mounted in such a way that the LED lights up when you turn on the ignition. Removing the centre console is quite simple; there are only a few screws, then just pull it out to access the electrical part. Now you can reassemble everything for the final test. Perfect result.
