4 things you should be doing with your car’s USB port (that isn’t charging your phone)

I’m old enough to remember when having any USB port in a car was a big deal, since cars tended to be treated as “analog” gadgets, no matter how much was going on behind the scenes. I’m not one of those people who waxes nostalgic about old tech, however. I’m glad that USB is not only not commonplace these days, but transitioning to USB-C, and spreading to more than just the front seats. The more places the better, as far as I’m concerned — even my seven-year-old son has an iPad, and the last thing my wife and I want is his favorite thing running low on battery.
