Carry only what you use
Choose the cable and adapter that match your device and the car’s charging port. Check compatibility information from the device and vehicle makers, and avoid damaged cables or adapters.
A soft pouch or an existing centre-console compartment is usually enough for a cable. Measure the compartment if you are considering an insert, and make sure it can be opened without obstructing the driver.
Route cables away from controls
Do not run a cable across the driver’s lap, steering wheel, handbrake, pedals or gear selector. Keep it away from hot surfaces and places where it can be pinched by a seat or door.
If passengers use a cable, arrange it so it stays on their side and does not cross the driver’s workspace. Unplug and put it away before moving the seat or loading luggage if it could snag.
Keep the phone mount separate
A cable organiser should not encourage placing a phone where it blocks the view or vehicle controls. Follow local rules and the vehicle handbook for phone use and mounting.
Inspect cables occasionally for fraying, loose connectors or heat damage. Replace damaged accessories and follow the maker’s instructions rather than continuing to use them because they still appear to charge.
