Default Charging cable out of closed gloves box

hi All!

I have my phone on the closed ashtray. It sits there pretty nicely to use google maps for navigation. However when the ashtray lid is closed I can’t use the electricity socket in there, so I use the one in the gloves box.

Is there a clever way to close the gloves box lid without forcing it, with the charging cable coming out?

(ps: why not use the usb socket in the cubby box? If I use the iPhone for navigation it actually uses more power than this usb socket can charge!!)

BR
Ter

The center USB actually isn't designed to charge at all, other than enough power to run a flash drive ( < .1 amp)

This will also work depending on the phone you have.
