USB cord and phone cradle, etc..
OK... so I love my 2016 platinum and one thing is driving me nuts. I plug my iPhone into the USB port continually so I stay charged up and so I can listen to music easily (I think it sounds better through USB than Bluetooth).
You can't close the door , or hide the USB wire..... so I have my phone sticking in a cup holder and a wire sloppy around the center console.
Has anyone come up with a neat way to put in a cradle or something to hold phone and not have door to USB ports open and wires dangling around?
It is such a clean looking interior and then it drives me crazy to not be able to run the wire back under dash or something..... or even a USB in glove box that I could hide better.
Thoughts? Pics? Ideas?

I do that sometimes, but sure makes it tough to see it..... not like texting and driving, just sometimes u need to see it....and most definitely at red lights, etc. i like the Nissan interface, but not good enough to run phone. If that makes sense?

Just an FYI
If you use a lighter usb adapter for the console you can charge your phone and still close the console without the phone inside
Can find at any store ( found mine at a CVS pharmacy)
Look at this:
iXCC Dual USB 4.8 Amp 24W Universal High Capacity Car Charger for Apple, Samsung, Andr... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P060MRK..._3Jo3wb8RBTJDX
Just chose first one I found on Amazon
Also they have ones that are lightning cable inputs too (Apple guy)
My 2 cents

There is a cradle of sorts built in to that compartment, but I'm not sure if your phone will fit in it...mine sure doesn't with or without my case.

What I did was bought a retractable cable from Amazon for my phone. It's so much more convenient to just have it to retract all the way back when I'm done using it. As well as to stretch it out when I need to use my phone while driving.

This is my current set up. Just imagine the phone inside the case (had to take the picture somehow). It does fit snugly and doesn't move. This is with an iPhone 6 Plus with a spigen phone case so it's relatively large. The phone itself covers most of the wires and all.

I will be buying one of these soon, simple snap on to the side of the center console
