iPhone power source for gsa

[byron]

As per the quirks of BMW we have the silly Hella socket. I am assuming that the BMW female socket is 5 v . I tried connect the black and red wire from my usb iPhone charging lead to the Hella male but unfortunately the iPhone did not charge. What have I done wrong?

Nooooo......the socket is 12v. Hope you haven’t fecked your phone.

Get a hella to cigarette lighter adapter like this

Then use a usb plug in thingy like this

You dont need the hella conversion, just plug this in.

I may misinterpret the picture, but it looks like the black cable is connected to the center pin. The center pin is + and the casing is -.

Saw these the other day, they look interesting.

There were a number of similar ones, some with on/off, others usb-c

Another vote for this from me. 2 x USB outlets and works really well.

This is the neatest solution, plugs straight into the existing loom connector and looks OEM on the GS.
