Trying to find easy way to connect cable in RX to charge my S5 phone
Have the 2014 RX. Trying to figure out a way to charge my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone easily in the vehicle.
I plugged in a USB cable but the USB port is near front and quite high. Plugging in the cable takes up space in the compartment. Then if you lay your phone on its side over the seat heater buttons you have to stretch the cable to make it work.
Has anyone figured out a better/easier way to charge their cell phone in the RX?
Please help. Thanks.

The issue I would have is that either option takes up room in the glove compartment. I need to find a right angled cord or perhaps power inverter that I can run straight up almost.
I usually have the phone in the cup holder.
Wish there was a better way to do this. Where does lexus expect you to place the phone in the RX?

My 2010h didn't have the plug in the place you're speaking of but they are deep in the console itself under the bucket (forward area). There is a hole in the bucket side to bring the cords up and through. Have you checked your owners manual to see if they're still there? I had two USB connections there that were great for phone (also Samsung S5) and iPod.

I am trying to find this hole but I don't see anything. I am looking the manual now but don't see anything.
Can anyone with a 14 RX help?

Maby your RX did not have a certain option or package thus not having the usb ports under center console. There is a storage space right under the shifter close to the floor that you can use to store your other stuff to make space for glove box? That space under ther shifter can fit a large purse.

You're saying there is way to somehow to get a cable up through there. Where does it end up?
I am looking again but can't tell what you're referring to.

Angelo, when you raise the armrest and look down/in, is there a bin you can remove? If so the plugs are below that in the forward wall. And there should be a hole in the forward part of the bin to run the cords through. Visually seeing and using them is a POA but if you can lift out the bin, use your smart phone flash light to see the plugs.

Guess I was just hoping for something further in front a bit more convenient.

Was just hoping there was a way to get the phone closer to front of the car without dragging a cable all the way across.
