Hi All,

I have just got a 2013 500.

I love it, but the USB in the centre console doesn't work. I think its the blue&me one, next to the aux.

I wanted to plug in an iphone for music and to keep it charged when using Waze etc.

When i plug it in, nothing happens, no charging to the phone and nothing happens on the radio. I have tried more basic usb products to see if they get life from it and they don't either.

Looking closely at the port, it seems to be pretty grubby in there and i think one of the metal tongs in the middle is bent over.

I've tried battery disconnection and removing fuses to try and jolt it to life but nothing.

Next step i assume is replacement? I'm not against giving it ago myself, is it just a case of unplug the old unit and plug in the new one? or way more complicated?

Any advice is appreciated!

James
