My S5 Cabriolet does have a USB socket right there. And only one in the arm rest.

You can enable an "Easy Entry" option using OBD11 or VCDS. It moves the driver seat back when you open the door rather than undo the seatbelt but it's pretty close. Moves it forward again when you switch on the ignition or start the engine.

If you're using Android Auto on the MMI, why not leave the phone under the armrest? Then you can use a short cable.

A plate to close off the deep fender hole by the driver side hood hinge. I have leaves inside, the leaves fell between the hood and the windshield. and found its way inside. Need a thin vacuum hose to suck them up, the wet/dry vac hose is too fat. The same spot on the right side is taken up by the windshield wipe fluid tank.
