I usually charge my phone via the USB port on the radio when we are off hook up but this weekend was photo heavy and we needed to charge two phones and a camera. I thought I'd been clever getting an adapt-it 5 to convert my hella/din sockets into cigar sockets
but sadly the chargers didnt work for any device. I tried a 'proper' car charger, two different usb plugs and all the cables I had with no joy. 

I know the sockets work as I've used a 12v car vacuum in them without any problem via the adapter. 

Any suggestions?  I'm considering fitting a usb socket in the cupboard with the radio but that really is last resort
