Do yourself a favour and check the current draw of the Voltmeter. I had a dual voltmeter when Tim from Traxide advised me to remove it because it draws about 1 amp

Wish app is a shopping app download from your app mine is from android .Also bought these of it. Tyre pic below
I will keep an eye on the current draw ,its only on when driving, I also have the bluetooth battery monitoring app so will watch out ,each bit can be replaced with another  
USB or 12v socket if it drains to hard thanks rod[emoji106]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190208/3c82a6beadebb7756905403e9bf5c535.jpg

Or put a switch in the voltmeter circuit.

The Wish app is good. 
Do you have the part number for this please?
I personally would get 1 x 12V socket and 2 x 2 USB ports instead of the volt meter. 
Wouldn't the volt meter always show 14.5V when the car is running?

3 in 1 Car Motorcycle Cigarette Lighter Socket Outlet + 4.2A Dual USB Charger Power Adaptor +LED Digital Voltmeter
couldn't find part # but there is a few different options with different setups if you look through the app.
when ignition turned on its about 12v then with motor running its sitting at 14.5v .
Also have ordered a single dual port to replace 1 of the 12v outlets in front seats .

Cool, thanks. I was using the 12v plug in USBs at the front, but the connection is dodgy most of the time. Will get the ports for the rear and front, will make it easier to charge stuff.

No. Smart alternator so the value is anything from 12.0-14.7V depending on the batteries state. When the car is started, for the first 30 seconds it doesn’t start charging with the alternator, presumably to determine the current draw and battery state of charge before deciding on the alternator output required.

Just checked mine, it's got the std 12v socket plus the Aux input jack. Will have to modify whichever 3-1 USB flush mount I get to also include this AUX input as we use this to connect iPods and mp3 players etc.

Can you play current iPhones though this AUX jack if you have correct fitting which would be lightning jack to AUX jack. I have a 2011 model Hse with the old iPod connection and having trouble getting the car to recognise my phone to play music from Spotify

Yes, but I use std headphone out from phone into AUX, works a treat.  I’ve also used a Bluetooth transceiver plugged into the AUX then I can play music wirelessly

Looks like a Narva part, but I could be wrong.

The red clip is the emergency release to get out of Park into Neutral. There is a wire loop for emergency release of the park brake.

I've been meaning to add one of these but i kept forgetting about it plus their website has an over $100 free postage so i put it off till i wanted something else, then i noticed their ebay shop with free postage [thumbsupbig].
 Got the 3 socket as above and a 3 socket panel with volt meter for the camper trailer.

Thought I would post my USB  install I have just done. I used a Narva twin USB.  I’ve been wanting to do this for ages and when I saw this post it gave me some motivation!! Lol
Thanks to the guys here for the ideas. 
Dave.
