Have any of you done anything similar?

Cheers all

Hi Andy; you may not be aware but A8s have a cigarette lighter in the front console and one in the back console. I regard these both as potentially dangerous, particularly with kids alone in the back.

I removed both lighters and replaced with them with Belkin 'cigarette to USB convertors' each of which had two USB charge connections. Thus, two people can be charging in the back at the same time
