Re: Dash usb
Probably head unit audio input so it won't charge your phone mate. Not enough output.

Re: Dash usb
Is it actually connected to anything?
Is it original or aftermarket?

Re: Dash usb
It should charge the phone no problem, mine certainly does. You can pull up the tray and check if the cable is connected.

Re: Dash usb
I took mine out and disassembled for a good clean as it was not working for either audio or charging. Now works fine. There is a VW part number on it and a search on eBay will bring up replacements for £30. It's not just a socket. It has an audio decoder circuit too.

Nick it’s a standard head unit, I’ve lifted up the tray and the cables are connected
