Hello!  
I saw a long time ago on this forum someone who had added an internal USB port to add an SDR or a Wifi key close to the batteries. It was soldered to the sound module which is on the side (which could be LTE). I bought this soldering iron, but I can no longer find the images of what to solder to put my USB dongle inside the console… does anyone remember that?

I remember an even older thread with pictures but this came up with a quick forum search.

> Well I figured it out, for those trying the same, the schematic starts counting from the right side, so counting from the top right corner of the expansion board. 10 - GND 11 - VCC 12 - D- 13 - D+ 14 - GND The 2 GND pins on either side explains why I got confused, I used 10 → 13 and got my SDR working internally.
