I'm not sure if glue would be enough to hold it, esp. in the Summer if/when it gets hot and the downward pressure when plugging something in over time....

The unit I have, the Pioneer X8500BHS, has dual rear USB plugs. This would be simple to connect an extension to, which is what I did, and just ran the cable up through the center console and pulled the end plug into my center console pocket. It's tucked away and hidden, but easy to access and still loose to allow easy connectivity of a flash drive.

However, if you wanted to permanently mount one, there are lots of options:

This one is cool - waterproof, for boats.

Lots of options.
