    So often I’ve pulled up my phone while it’s connected just to try looking up a destination while I’m parked. Being forced to use only the car interface for Maps while plugged in has always been awkward.

    Shame that my single USB port that supports Auto is wearing out! Soon I’ll be reduced to Bluetooth only, and maybe a mount for the phone to keep the screen in arm’s reach without having to look away from the road.

      What signs are you seeing that the port is wearing out? Is it possible that it’s just dirty?

        Ehh, I’d like to think so. It looks like a ton of work to replace the single USB port in my center console. Most places want me to buy an entire radio kit that’s like $400 just to get a new port. I’ve looked into it briefly, but it looks like it’s financially untenable to replace what should be a $2 part if that.
