Sure, that would be good. If I go this route, I would need a new panel with AUX and USB anyways.

Thanks for the picture. I'm not sure I understand why drilling there would release the panel?

I was able to squeeze the locking SS metallic to the right, to pull the left part out of the console socket...

By the way, how did you remove the center console to wire the USB socket?
How's your experience with GROM MST3. Do you recommend it? I was thinking of getting it

I don't recommend it. Even after a ton of back and forth with their engineering and trying a bunch of beta firmwares, it still did not work reliably right up til when I traded the car in in 2014.
