    thanks in advance.

    Hi Wayne.
    I have the TOPIx workshop instructions for removing the centre console. Its pretty easy to do but you need to know where to pull the trim etc. I can't attach a PDF file here so PM me your email address and I will send it to you.

    Cheers,
    Chris

    Hi LandyAndy,
    Yes the HSE has a USB port in the top glovebox and one in the rear of the console but neither will charge the iPad on the go. As we intend to use it as our roadmap and POI reference we need it to be charged.

    Hi drelectro,
    Thanks for the suggestions. I have a twin USB socket about the same size as the one in the console hence the request. I haven't heard of the "Anker" unit before but it looks good - where did you get yours?
    My socket is a 2.1A plus a 1A to enable the Ipad & iPhone both to be charged at once.

    Hi Basil135,
    I've been through so many of the adapters it's not funny. Either it's not compatible with the idevice I want to charge or it charges too slow or not at all - I've given up hence the alternative of a dedicated socket.

    thanks,
    Wayne

    Hi Wayne,

    You can get the Anker adapters from Amazon, they ship directly to Australia.
    I can assure you that the Anker is not like all of the other craptacular adapters and will charge your things including iThings at full power.

    Or just go to jaycar they sell a plug in one with 4.2a output = 2 iPads charging at once no probs.

    The one I have hard wired is a marine one that also does two 2.1a outputs.
