Hi ,

 

I have remove the cigarette lighters as they are too tempting for the kids. Has anyone a recommetndaton for a flush cover that would act as a USB Port. I know there are a lot our there but it would be good to have it fit perfectly in the Superb

 

Thanks John

The Belkin brand has these;

 

 

Seem to be "micro" enough. You should be able to find them in most electronic good stores.

 

Another option is replacing the cigarette lighters with "12V socket"-plugs;

I use the belkin ones. Bought them off eBay and they are a good product.

I have the belkin too.

Also one of these, which has a handy little handle to make it easier to pull out: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002HRU7F2/ref=pe_217191_31005151_dp_1

Both fit superbly. The belkin's green light is a good match for the climate LEDs.

I have just ordered one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00M6Q83B4?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 - a flush looking dual USB chappie - will report back when it arrives.

Another vote for the Belkin - works well and blends right in too

I have had the same Belkin one for about three years with no issues.

Often leave it plugged in (nothing connected) without issues.

You should get the vw torch that goes in the cig lighter

I have two of these.... One is used in the fuse box for my dash cam install but the other is used in the front 12v socket...... Both work very well and they have a little handle to help remove them.

Hi All,

 

Thanks for the tips - have ordered the belken and a sunkin.

 

With the sockets being live, even with the ignition off, any concerns over these being left in place 24/7?

 

John

I've left the Belkin in for days (with nothing connected to it) without any issues.

I have just ordered the 1 x Belkin pictured above and 1 x Belkin new style with green outer ring. Will put 1 in the front and 1 in the back.

Just arrived. It seems fine, but the other recommendations above are probably just as good if not better. It is possible to remove it without too much hassle as although it is nearly flush the rim is easy to grip to pull out. Nice to have twin USB sockets on it.

 

It would be interesting to measure if these things do draw any current if left inserted, or if they are smart enough to only do so when something is connected.
