2016 Corolla Need Help

[S_Doroski]

I just replaced the factory stereo in my 2016 Corolla S with a Sony AX1000 today. The crux swrty-61n harness I received with it works perfectly fine. The backup camera, steering wheel controls, Bluetooth and CarPlay all work great. The only thing that I can figure out is the retention hookup for the factory USB location. The harness hooks on to the factory wiring with a USB plug at the end of it. The problem is that there is no USB port on the back of the AX1000 stereo. Is there a converter I can buy? If so what would I need?

My guess is since the new Sony head unit has it's own USB in the front and there is no connection for it in the rear, the existing factory USB connectors are no longer usable.
