Never saw this USB port before

Did a DIY version of this today myself. Thanks for the inspiration Blaylock1988.
I got the factory USB toggle thing off eBay, but then chopped the other dodgy Chinese end off the cable and soldered all 4 core wires to an old USB cable I had lying around. This gave me a complete switch to USB cable which was over 1m length and ran completely from the switch position right to the fuse box.
Then got the female inline cigarette charger socket as per Blaylock1988's detailed post photos on here and also the cool fuse tap thing. Note: I got both of these items from Jaycar electronics which were both cheap and (b) in stock and in Australia any time, just drive over there and grab them.
Also I just plugged the new fuse tap with 3A fuse in a spare slot to the right of the other fuses on the bottom row. This means you aren't doing any dodgy fuse relocating, but it only charges the phone when the ignition is on. Fine for my needs.
It works great and looks awesome, super happy. Cheers...
