USB Hub?
Anyone use a USB hub in their ILX? I'd like to charge several devices while driving, but don't want to risk damaging the software, i.e. could it handle an iPod, iPhone and iPad all plugged in at the same time?

Charging the iPad requires some serious juice, I'd use something like this:

i don't think enough power from that USB port but perhaps the Mediabridge Colin suggested might do the job

The USB port does work for charging. It also wont hurt your Iphone/Ipad. However I wouldn't ever recommend splitting the USB jack. Just use it one for one.

Also, When you plug in a device with music/itunes/mp3s it automatically recognizes them and syncs with them to play via USB mode.
