    Just plug the iPhone's USB cord into USB socket in the front of the console between the front seats. It'll charge your phone and you can even use the phone via the USB plug as well.



    iPhone ?

    Playing audio while charging the iPhone works well, however using the USB port may take priority over Bluetooth.

    I use this AUKEY Car Charger which has enough amperage to charge while using GPS navigation apps and remaining on Bluetooth.

    you know, i think i might just order one. they are cheap enough (about $13) and will take care of power and charge anxiety too. thanks
