I picked up a Motorola MA1 for easy Android Auto.

I attached it to a USB 3.0 Adapter 90 Degree adapter to make the install clean and also fully removable instead of sticking it directly to the Mav.

It gets the job done!

I have to say I love this idea, that is brilliant! I'm ordering the adapter now. The only thing for me is that I'll have to try to attach it to the adapter with velcro because I move my MA1 between the Maverick & my Mustang and that setup with it folded like that will not work in the Mustang due to the location of the USB port.

I kinda tweaked the initial idea because it was sorta in the way of reaching the pocket behind it.
I went with an extender cable and tucked it in the back.

The end result is a little more hidden this way too.

I actually already have one of those longer extenders so I can try one but I think I kind of like you're original idea better.

Here's my setup with a different brand of adapter. Notice my wireless charging pad laying in the cubby.
