![]() ![]() It's a good point and I agree with your view that the current poor USB port setup in the Corolla isn't a deal breaker. Not had a scenario where I NEEDED them, and if I do I’ll buy a cheap adapter on eBay to convert one to two. I would have liked a pair of USB sockets below the rear air vents (in addition to the two present), but it’s far from a deal breaker. I use my iPod via bluetooth to listen to music and podcasts, is there any advantage to plugging it in via data usb? It's not like there's anything useful a miscreant could access over USB and anyway if they got into the vehicle they have the keys to the kingdom anyway. It annoys me because it means I have to keep my iPod more-or-less insight whereas the Jazz allowed me to hide the iPod in the armrest. But I struggle to see how that could be an issue in this situation. I stand to be corrected but I believe that the only reason for charge-only ports is to prevent unauthorised access to the data bus. As far as I know making it data compatible wouldn't affect its charging functionality. I particularly don't understand why Toyota left us with a charge-only USB port. All sockets were USB 2.0 and capable of high-power charging. My Jazz had three - one in a similar position under the infotainment unit (along with an HDMI socket for streaming video to the amazingly low-resolution screen) and two in the arm rest. It's certainly better than the one Honda foisted on its drivers. My only gripes really are that it doesn't switch to DST automatically and we can't specify the default screen for when the car is started. The graphics aren't that bad (although the map looks a little bit cartoonish it can be forgiven on the grounds of readability). I think the infotainment unit is fine as such things go.
