I ordered my up! last week without even taking it to a test drive. I know that will be excellent like VW's are and I fell in love with the styling and cute sinister look.

But what I want to know is that is there a USB connector anywhere on the dash? That would start to be a good idea to include nowadays since since almost all poratble machines charge via one.

No but a Griffin powerjolt type device will sit discretely in the 12 socket and provide one or 2 high power usb sockets, I use one to charge a power-hungry ipad3 on the go.....beware the ebay no-name adapters as they are often unregulated.

Thanks for the tip. I ordered one from Amazon.co.uk since I can't order straight from Griffin (damned EU!). They clearly sell fakes also through Amazon so I hope I chose the right one.

A look through the brochure will tell you everything that your car has......

You should have got one of the guys on here to order one for you and then forward it! (damned EU!) bypassed!!

We'll see. If mine has bright and sharp coloring it's real (hopefully). If it charges my phone it's enough (hopefully).

I don't trust some of the cheap 12v > USB adapters on the market, but having said that apple (if your using iphone / iPad in car), don't make their own.

If you look on the apple store though their recommended suppliers are not bad value for money.

http://store.apple.com/uk/product/H8625ZM/A/just-mobile-highway-pro-dual-charger - £30+ (expensive)

http://store.apple.com/uk/product/HA782ZM/A/just-wireless-car-charger (£13) - reasonable

If you look on ebay make sure you get branded items with integrated circuit breakers to protect your gear.
