Can anybody tell me the type of connector is used to charge phones within the armrest? There's a little hole in the bottom that I'm assuming is for power, but I can't really see it. I'd like to use it build an ipod charger so I don't have to see the wires strung in front of the radio.

Thanks

Really? Nobody knows what I'm talking about??

In the bottom of my armrest, on the side towards the front of the car, there's a small sliding cover with a hole beneath it. I'm assuming this is a power outlet of some sort.

I think you'll find that's an air vent!

You can open or close the cover to allow the cubby hole to be ventilated or not!

Try putting the fan on full and you'll see what I mean.
