Trewithy Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I want to buy a USB cable so I can charge my phone in the car. I am not very technical so I don't know what type of connector I need for my phone which is a Samsung model GT-S5830i. I think it is either a Mini USB or a Micro USB, but I could be wrong. If anyone can advise me I would be grateful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone can advise me I would be grateful. I'm guessing its a Mini USB not a Micro Can you photograph your house charger and upload the picture? I've created a guide on fitting a USB socket to the glovebox along with a dual camera DVR system (dash cam), The second USB socket is great for powering satnav, in car WiFi router or charging phone Link: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/65147-guide-fitting-dual-camera-dvr-system-focus-mk2-mk25/?p=438442 Its been done on a 2010 Mk2.5 Ford Focus however the principles are the same on every motor; piggy back fuse in to an ignition live feed. Connects2 are also selling universal contactless charging kits for various phone models almost every phone, Fits under your existing cup holder or anywhere you like to fit it, just sit the phone close to it for charging :) Link: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/71746-in-car-contactless-charging-phone/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Your phone uses a micro usb. They are standard on all modern phones now (apart from Apple as they're just plain obstinate and refuse to conform). 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zico Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 If you've got a 2015 Fiesta then you should have the standard USB port near the handbrake. I picked up a couple of these USB to Micro USB cables for faster charging (no data links): http://www.amazon.co.uk/PortaPow-Specialised-20AWG-Block-Micro/dp/B00RQ5AZL6/ref=dp_ob_title_ce **edit** New link for newer version. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 most Shell stations sell an all in one charger - a charger with a nokia, iPhone, micro and mini USB along with a sony errikson head. Handy to have in the glovebox! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Apart from some of the basic work phones my colleagues use, I love the fact that most phones now are mini usb charge points (apart from Crapple). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Does my Mondeo titanium x 2008 have a USB port? I can't seem to find one. If fitted, it's usually in the corner of the glovebox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
