Anyone swapped the 12V socket on the top of the dash (centre) to a dual USB? Wondered how easy to access to do the job?

Seen a few people do this.
The hardest part is getting the OEM socket out in the first place.
The existing socket has a short wire and conector plug.
Just be mindful that USB power chargers use power all the time, so it's not recommended to connect to the starter battery feed without a switch.
Or, use an ignition feed.
Or, use a leisure battery feed.

I have a blank with no wires Dell. How tricky is it to feed the wires down to the fuses near the gearbox?

Easy enough, but you need to remove the head unit fascia and vents.
