Noble Essentials Rear Passenger USB Charger Ports Subaru WRX 2022-2024 Base Model Only

Wish they would all come like this from the factory. Install wasn’t too hard

Ok I saw you can install the ports while only removing the rear panel. It is possible, but it is not easy as you’re trying to plug these things in blind and with one hand. Did I do it? YES. But it took a while, kinda like plugging in a USB port that is on the back of the computer and it never seems to match until you get back there, look at the port, look at the plug then give it one last go. Good luck to the next person but it’s worth it once you get those plugs connected!

I installed on my 2017 Subaru Impreza. Connector works well so I just unplug the 12v and connect the USB charger. Made a nice rectangular like opening in the back panel of the center console for the USB charger and got a really professional look.

My kids complained of not charging their phone and switch on long roadtrips. This is a must have for vb base that doesn’t have usb adapters. Easy to install too.

Didn’t realize this came with the OEM usb ports. That being said this could easily come with the new updated USB C port. The harness that comes with this kit will probably plug into the new 2024 version of the part just fine (not tested). But now I have back seat ports on my base model yay

Install note: you really only have to take the rear face plate off to remove the dummy blank plate, and the left and right 10mm bolts under the circular plastic covers. Once all that is off and out you can reach under and unplug the cigarette lighted harness and tap into the noble harness that plugs into the back of the usb ports. Super easy this way with minimal tear down

Easy to install and i can now charge more things in my car

Install was a breeze and my son can now charge his tablet in the back seat

Now my kids can charge their devices in the back seat

Port is a Subaru part as listed in the video and description. Not sure why they don’t include instructions or the one guy reviewing it didn’t leave any either. From the rear seats with front seats forward find the 2 small covers 1 on each side and remove the covers and the 10mm screw on each side. Then pull the rear cover (where the new usb module) goes out towards the rear starting with the bottom first then the top (There are 4 plastic clips holding the cover in place). Once rear cover is removed, you will find 2 Phillips head screws one on each side. Remove the passenger(right) side screw. (If you need more room for maneuvering you can do both sides but it is not needed). Next step with the center armrest opened you will need to pry upwards on the front section to reveal 2 more Phillips head screws. Remove the screw on passenger (right) side and then pry upwards then outwards to gain access to the bottom of the (“Cigarette lighter”) plug. Pry downwards on the plug to remove blade connector. Once removed using the supplied wire harness tie in to power supply and re connect the power to the “cigarette lighter” plug with the new harness. Feed the harness wiring back to new module and re-assemble.

If ya have passengers, you're gonna want this. If you're like me , whom picked a base model, you'll notice it doenst have rear USB's.. premium + do. Maybe you just like having your chargers behind you. Cost isn't too bad either. If ya have 3000 IIR points then ya can buy it without spending any $!

Install is fairly easy; if you have big hands expect some difficulty. No need to dismantle the entire center console either; just pull the back piece off, pop the plastic block out n slide the usb ports in. Then, using the product listing photos, you can identify exactly what you need to look for. If you run into any issues YouTube should be helpful.
