Any ideas re placement of headphone jacks, aux music input jack, USB charging port for back seaters...other than the horizontal area just below the back seat vent?

I mounted my headset jacks on the tunnel covers between the seats.  The 

headsets will hang on my overhead plenum out of the way of people 

boarding/exiting the plane.  No charging ports though!!!

whats wrong with the back seat vent areas? probably the best in my mind.

I put a aux jack (which I have yet to use) below one of the seats, would do 

the same for a USB.

The hot tunnel top would really be the only other area to put headset jacks 

and connections for easy access. the side panels below the vents is the best 

for routing and connections. If itâ€™s a tripping over them issue, move the 

headset onto the seats. I have yet to have an issue with my 5yr old and 

older passengers, when I move the headset into the corner and have the 

passengers pull the headset from that area. Having it in the center would 

cause issues in flight as we are moving things all over that area (food, 

books, etc) from back to front and back.

I fabricated a vertical plate below the vent.  Not as subject to being 

damaged.  Allows padded armrest extending along the full horizontal shelf.



I'm going to down to the plane now - I'll try to remember to take a pic 

or two.

I installed mine on the flap rod covers, each side mounted close to the

tunnel side of each cover, one plug over the other.  My thought was to not

have the jacks such that the headphone wires would pass over their laps or

get tangled if they tried to get out with the headphones still on.  This is

also an easy place to route the connection wires via the tunnel.



Never had a rear seat passenger needing to charge anything.  If on rare

instance I do I'll just have them use the panel jack.

You must not carry kids (re the charging)....we use

the back seat charging ports all the time.

Mine are on the rear of the Aerosport Products center arm console.

So there was a thread, probably on Aeroelectric, regarding USB ports.  

As I recall it was never brought to a conclusion.



What are y'all using for USB charging ports?



I have a cigarette port poorly located but I'd love to install a USB 

port or two.

Having built my RV-10 long before I recognized the need for a USB port, I just bought a cigarette plug adapter that has two cigarette plugs and two USB ports, one with 2.1 amps for the mighty iPad.  Purchased it on Amazon and it works great.  Not to helpful for the folks in back though unless you have a long cord or another jack in the back.

Our headset jacks are in a panel below the vent. Â The panel extends from the diagonal brace above it.

  



FWIW I wired the back seat music input with a 24" wire/1/8" plug (not a jack) so the kids can plug their stuff in and I don't have to keep track of a patch cord. Â It exits from inside a pocket so I just coil it up and leave in there when not in use.

Nice,  looks like Stein has several USB options.



Thanks,

Mounted mine in the overhead. Seems to be a good location so far.

If you have a center armrest front inside and the rear passengers on the

back side. It keeps all the wiring 

In the center. Also less likely to catch them on their feet when getting out

of the

Airplane. Charge jacks and music inputs work great there as well.

I put mine (head sets only) on the seat back support.  Seems like a bad 

place at first but most of the people I have in the back are other than 

family so I usually end up assisting them in getting strapped in.  All the 

cords are out of the way, works good for me.

+1 on back seat support.  Looks like this: http://kochman.smugmug.com/RV-10/Trips/2013-Cross-Country-Trip/i-7DXQJ82/0/M/2013-05-25%2009.44.15-M.jpg.  Downside is that I couldn't easily install the cover for the back seat support that came with my Flightline interior.  I don't really miss it, though. 



On USB charging ports, I'm a big fan of installing cigarette lighter ports if you can, then using a low-profile USB charger that plugs in.  That way, if it ever breaks, it's super-easy to replace.
