I'm looking at buying Ford S-Max Titanium registered Nov 2009 (59 plate). It has the Sony DAB radio but without a USB connection the glove box. I've read that there is a USB port availbale, but it is behind the glove box...is this true and can I access it myself without going to a garage?

There is a USB port on the bluetooth module but it's a diagnostic port only and is no use to you for plugging in an MP3 player.

If you don't have the USB socket, the cost to retro fit it is prohibitively expensive.

hi there ... if your car has the sony dab , it will play mp3 files and the connector itself is only a few quid..
there will be a blanked plug on the left side of the glove box when you remove it . two main bolts on the roof of the box and several screws scattered around the front....

instead of going though all that you can play music thou your bluetooth from most new phones;-))
