    I was thinking about doing that at some point, to plug in the phone so I can listen to mp3s and use the gps.
    Do you have some resitors/diodes to regulate voltage in there?
    I imagine if for some reason the alternators regulator fked out and you got a little power spike, it could fk the ipod/phone

    I have added an accesory socket to my bike with a flush mounted 3.5mm female headphone jack connect to a 3M cable that runs from the bars to the glove box so I can plug my ipod/phone in on a long strip, have it on charge while riding and been able to listen to it, by just plugging my headphones into the jack.

    I just brought a waterproof accessory socket and used a fuse, the little USB connection piece that actually plugs in has some kind of regulator in it, I dont think it would be a major thing to worry about I can take some photos to show you where I have put it and give you a rough idea
