Tapping power from USB-C harness?

[Indecent Dad]

Hoping someone with experience in this sort of thing can chime in….
I need a usb-c cable on the back side of this switch panel to charge a device out of sight (charge only, no data).
I am trying to avoid a fuse tap since the only fuse panel I can find is in the engine bay (side question…is there a fuse panel under steering column??)

I assume the USB-C harness will already be converted to 5V DC for the pre-existing charge ports on the right??
Is tapping pre-existing wires here a bad idea?

I think something like this would tell you the specs of those USB-C ports.

So two solutions........

There is an interior fuse panel under the glove box (remove the trim panel).

Purchase a splitter from Amazon and new OEM port, remove the existing port, split it behind the trim panel, install new port into original hole.

Perfect! Interior fuse panel it is - looks close enough to where it won’t be a pain running a cable. Thank you!
