My conclusion on the USB charger upgrade what is best what sucked etc.

Old version (Green box 4 pin) USB charged at maybe 0.5 amps and if using a IPhone drains the battery and won't charge while in use CRAP.

New Version 2 pin USB charges at 1 Amp and not bad untested while fully in use but I am 99% sure will charge and be fine while using phone.

i bought a 3 amp module rigged it wired it to click in place of the green box on the old version - SHIT and charged only just above 0.50 Amps at best and barely would charge while in use (I have it fitted n will test more but the quality of these cheap things are trouble I think)

Conclusion IMO use the stock new version USB and I can make a small loom to plug and play.

Or car charger in the Car lighter socket I had the best charge rate at 1.95 Amps but its ugly looking but yeah it works

Stock new version seems best looks best and can be fitted easily, I also fitted the Volt meter as I made a new loom and found all the correct connectors needed to mod or make any combination work plug n play.
