Otherwise it defeats the purpose of calling it a glove box. If gloves are not in this box it would be more accurate to describe that volume as a passenger compartment.

    Honestly, I think there should be legislation. that any usb ports should only be allowed to be placed within closed compartments (such as the glove box) so that to charge your phone or use Car play / android auto your phone would have to be away and inaccessible.

    They could then be renamed to a phonebox

      And by closed compartments I mean, closable and usually, when the car is in motion closed. I don’t want them to lock closed when the car is in motion or even have electronics to check that the compartment is closed before powering the usb or anything.

      So people without in-dash display units to use Car Play don’t get navigation then? My phone sits on the dash with maps plugged in for roadtrips.
