Iriz owners with aftermarket HU, is it possible to link the front USB port to the HU? planning to get a HU with CarPlay and it’d be great if I can connect directly from the front instead of running through the glovebox.
And does Proton sell the rear USB port parts separately for 1.3 standard models?
Depending on the willingness of both sides to void warranty of new unit, theoretically it is possible to mod the 4 tiny usb wirings to reuse the original port, yes involving cutting off ori harness and rejoining wires.
Carplay system requirement for usb access is another story, but this is only opinion on my case as android phone user and my HU is fully android based, so my usb port only serve as external media access. 16gb with almost 1k songs is enough to plug and forget it for a while
Besides how frequent we need to access it?
It is just more convenient to stick to new HU's own provided usb cable inside glovebox anyway, both for installer and us as the user.
Plus cleaner look with no protruding usb stick getting in a way to fully use the compartment space and as it also well hidden in the glovebox.
In your case why not pre-plugged lightning cable inside glove box then take out only necessary length of other end then fix just nicely beside phone compartment for example. less cluttered.
Regarding rear port, maybe can ask ppc but you can opt for universal type installed.
