Default usb hub

anyone added a usb hub to gain more than 1 usb connection. i want to be able to use my ipod and charge my smart phone off the usb. I know i can get a cig lighter charger for the phone but those chargers usually have a coiled cord that with the deep center console it will likely always fall in or not make it out far enough to be useful.

I tried to add a hub, but for some reason, it would only supply power, but would not stream data.

So, I did this instead:

1 coiled phone power adapter powering old style Cell Phone,
1 car lighter USB Converter powering Cell Phone,
1 Lexus supplied USB Port for iPhone or iPod.

The coiled cable gathers the other two wires, and this prevents the set from falling back in the lower box.

Default Loonie!

I see a Loonie in the bin!

(Our non-Canadian friends will need an explanation of that comment.)

I debated cropping out that hoard of "almost par" dollars.

I didn't want anyone to suspect how filthy rich we are here in the Northwest...
