AMI socket on facelift A1

I know a couple of people (and thought about it myself) have got an extension iPhone cable and run it out the back of the glovebox, through the tunnel and into the armrest. I didn't as I couldn't find a lightning extension at the time (only old 30 pin iPhone cable).

Or if you are android use a USB extension.
 
yep its still in the glove box which is a pita!

Mine came with lightning connection and female usb cable too
 
Yes it is, but bonus is that it has bluetooth connection which music can be played through and just use the lighter socket for a charger. i havent needed to use the socket in the glove box, probably never will.
