    Default Phone Portal, anyone use it ??

    So, anyone use the phone portal ? I was planning on ditching it in favour of the extra storage compartment, but after getting fed up of plugging my phone into charge, think I might go this route.

    If anyone has any pics or info, that would be great !!

    For anyone unaware of the phone portal, heres mine. It sits next to the handbrake and you are supposed to buy an adaptor to fit your phone.
    It then charges, and works as a secondray handsfree I believe. The bluetooth is fantastic so I just want it to charge....

    As far as I know it's only compatible with one phone, a Nokia 6300 or something ancient like that. I haven't been able to find another version of it for any other phone model, even the nokias. Will be changing it for the cupholder at some point soon...
