Could you find a suitable automotive version,

that's what I would do. Â It gives you a chance
to try all sorts of low-cost items and then pick a couple of the right ones. Â
For the presentation at the instrument panel, I
would go for a USB extension cable for ease of
mounting. Â This can then plug into your power supply. Â
FWIW.Â

There are hundreds of options. The greatest risk for
most options are (1) expenditure of $time$ to integrate
the device into the airplane (2) performance to requirements
and (3) radiated and conducted EMC.
The technology is mature . . . 2 and 3 are relatively
low value risks. But one can spend a lot of hammer-n-tongs
effort making a 'clean' and robust installation. Condider
products tailored to the task like these

This would be a good value at 3x the price due to
it's ease of installation. No sheet metal work
what so ever except to cut usb connector clearance
holes.
