Thats how I do it, but I also run navigation so to keep my battery up I usually always charge while driving. I just want a setup that doesn't require me to switch plugs around if I want lighting or charging lol
I guess my issue was that last sentence, I was king of hinting at just living with the poor charging ability of the port if it meant I didn't need to use bluetooth (which drains more battery)
You can get a multi plug for your power outlet so you can use 2 things at once. Cheap on Amazon.

Are these intended to run all the time it's dark out? I kind of like the look but also don't quite understand... It's cheap enough to be cool to just try out. Could they be connected to come on and go off with the doors opening? I don't know much about wiring, so that may be complex...
I only use them when it is dark out because they really aren't bright enough to be visible in daylight. I'm sure you could try to get it to come on and off with the doors/headlights, but I know nothing at all about wiring. That's why I'm using a kit that goes into the cigarette lighter lol

I always use the aux cord to charge/run carplay, so it ended up working out for me

Sorry for delay here is the setup the control station box is mounted underneath by the usb and the cig lighter which I have split 3 ways to accommodate my dash cam, the led lighting system and an air purifier. The wiring for underneath the dash is tucked into the center console behind the center stack. The wire for the door jams runs underneath the floormats. Took 30 min to setup all said and done.

If you start to smell smoke or burning at any point, unplug that thing ASAP as that is a lot of stuff to be powering from one cig lighter port.

I hear ya, no issues yet. Only using 13-14 watts (max 100 for the unit from the 3 combined sockets or no more than 40w on a single socket)

Is this picture with only 2 of the LED strips hooked up? It doesn't appear that you are illuminating from your door jams as well. LMK
I have the other two turned off in the photo I believe. Ill take more detailed photos from outside the vehicle as well with it at full brightness and various other levels. For $50 u really cant go wrong and the lights go where u want them to be.
