Hi all, in my car i have a Car Radio with a USB socket, into which i put USB memory sticks to play music thereon.
I just had a brain wave ?, could i plug my iPhone into this socket, using my standard mains charging lead (without the 3 pin plug !) and charge up my phone with it, i realise i wouldn't be able to listen to MP3 files on my Phone LOL.
I find that normal Phone charging leads that come out of a cigarette lighter socket are far to bulky and never long enough, to such an extent that i can't stick my phone holder on the windscreen where i want it to be !.
My Meriva has a terrific blind spot at the side of the windscreen with a little window that i can't see anything out of, this is the best (and only) place i want to stick my Phone !.
Has anybody tried to charge phone from a car radio usb socket ?.
