A vehicle owner needs a dedicated high-power USB outlet (60W+) integrated into the dash for a clean, permanent phone charger installation, but off-the-shelf dash cam kits only support low wattage and he lacks knowledge on selecting the correct fuse and inverter components.

Existing dash cam kits are designed for low-power devices (typically 5-15W) and do not support 60W+ USB-A power delivery. Standard car USB chargers plug into the 12V outlet, creating an untidy look with dangling cables. There is no off-the-shelf product that combines a discreet, hardwired high-power USB outlet with a custom-length angled USB-C cable for a flush mount installation.

Included fuse tap with multiple amp ratings and a wiring guide
Custom-length right-angle USB-C cable (30cm/1ft) with magnetic tip
Low-profile bezel that replaces a factory blank panel or mounts under dash
Optional hardwired voltage display and battery voltage cutoff to protect car battery

Target Users: DIY automotive enthusiasts and mechanics who want a professional, clean hardwired charging solution for their vehicle—fits all makes/models (especially Toyota 4Runner, Tacoma, etc.), targeting individuals comfortable with basic electrical work.

Revenue Model: $79.99 one-time purchase for the kit, with $14.99 replacement cables
