I really like this solution, but I'm reluctant because of the messy look of excess cable and adapters. According to eBay, the cable from Amazon is 3.28 feet. 
This seems to be another option from eBay:
New USB Female to 2 USB A Male Power Y Cable Extension
This cable measures only 11 inches, so this could make things a little more tidy. I'm also eyeing this power adapter that sits flush against the cigarette lighter socket:
Belkin Micro Auto Charger
Just thought I'd add a few more options for those motorers who want to try and keep things neat. |
I'm confused as to why the new Y-connector is needed. If I got the Belkin min-charger, couldn't I just use the OEM Y-connector, but run the USB male into the Belkin instead of the dashboard? I'm assuming the Belkin has sufficient output power to charge the 3GS, so what do I gain by having a cable plugged into the dashboard female USB?
