Where do you plug the USB charger in? Also, is it hard wired, or can I use my own USB cord? Is it Micro-USB?

The USB charger plugs into the side of the mount & into your car's power outlet. It isn't hard wired, the USB is separate, but it's recommended that you use the cord that comes with it because of the input/output requirements.

The micro USB plugs in the lower left of the charger. You can provide your own, or use the one they provide to charge other devices. Sees very flexible.

it comes with a cord that has a micro USB male end and a cig lighter male end. the cord is not hard wired to the dock you can use any cord that has a male micro USB tip.

It's a micro USB that plugs into the bottom of the mount... You can use any micro USB with it but it comes with one... It works great but just be careful charging on the dash or window because it will overheat quickly while charging and in sunlight... Also I have an armored case and it charges through the case. Great product... I was very pleased...

There was an plug near one of side arms. It is micro-usb, but I suggest you to use provided cable, unless you have very good cable (cheap cables cause slow charging rate!)

You must use the supplied cable which plugs in to the base behind the phone. It then charges wirelessly.

Bought it a month ago, the cord is hardwired to the original 12v socket adapter, you could use other adapter and a Micro-USB cable.

I recently purchased this mount. It uses a standard micro USB cord. The package comes with a 12v adapter to go into any normal cigarette lighter/power port in your car. You could certainly use your own USB cord, but one is provided in the package.

It comes with its own dc power adapter with integral mico-USB cable. The adapter plugs into a standard auto cigarette lighter socket. The accompanying literature suggests to use only this power adapter since it is designed specifically for this unit. While using the supplied power supply, while running Google Maps in continuous display mode and active Bluetooth connection to my car's system, the unit could not quite maintain a full charge on my Nexus 5 during a recent 15 hour trip.

It is micro-USB. It comes with an adapter that you can use, but you can use your own as well. The cord is not very long on the adapter that comes with it, so I used my own and plugged it in to a fast charge USB accessory charging device. If you don't have one, iOttie makes a good one that you can buy as well. As far as plugging in to the iOttie, when the mount is set for portrait, it is on the bottom left.

Heather is wrong. It's a USB. The wall outlet plug is a separate included piece. The cord plugs into it.

Very easy On the side there is a micro USB insert. Using a standard Micro USB cord you can plug the USB side into a computer USB port and charge from computer or into an AC USB plug and plug into the wall. Either way it is very easy to do. Best of luck and post any other questions and I would love to help if I can.

It's a USB wired unit. It is a nice size though. I purchased this as a gift for a family member and they are still enjoying it. But yes, it is wired via USB.

There's a mini USB on the end of it. Plug that in with he cable that came with it and plug the other end into a USB charger.

The unit IS the wall plug. On the back of the unit (opposite side from Logo shown on Amazon) is a standard 110v 2 prong connector. So you plug this unit right into the wall (or use any standard extension cord including the cheap ones for lamps, etc). USB slot as mentioned is for charging your phone/tablet that might be providing the tunes and the Mini Jack is the audio output. The USB Jack is a nice touch but instantly makes me wonder why you wouldn't just use the headphone jack on the device and save yourself $35 if they are that close together.

I went home and checked my charger. It is actually a one piece charger that plugs into the wall. The cord does not detach so that you can plug it into the USB port. I got it confused with my work phone charger. Sorry.

Do a quick Google search. You will see the differences between the new version and old version. It's been a while, but I don't remember mine coming with a charger. It's micro USB and they're so common around my house that I didn't have an issue charging it. Also, I received the new version. Which is better.

It comes with its own charging cable. A USB on one end, and a micro size on the other. You need to buy the adapter if charging thru AC current though.

It comes with a USB charger cord, but you will need your own USB power plug end if you want to charge it using an electrical outlet rather than plugging it into a computer.

It's not a charger, it's only a micro usb to magnetic port adapter. You use it with your own charger and cable

You have to charge with usb to a computer. In fact there is no cord to a wall outlet. The good part is that it takes a few minutes as use your computer also, it last a long time. Of course it depends on how much you use.

It comes with a standard charging cord; I am not a tech guru, however I Googled both items and the picture that looks like the one that came with the unit is Mimi USB. Hope this helps.

I believe the USB cord is hard wired to the keyboard, but I cannot be sure as the keyboard is at the county dump. I bought two of these for my Dad and both of them failed inside a month. NOT a good buy.

Charger cord comes with it, USB for phone you will need on your own. This thing is awesome, btw.

Charge with your phone charger. No USB cable cord is provided for charging. There is a built in small cord attached to unit but you would still need something to plug into.
