I have an stx and the port is perfect. Put the phone on the right side of the port, with the phone charging port facing you or up.....I get that. That's why (hanging cords)I put USB outlets in the tray, mostly for my GPS.
My phone mostly stays in my pocket.
I also installed USB outlets inside the console in case a phone needs charged.
There are so many things which can be done with a phone nowadays that I'm sure I don't know the half of it!
Ford, IMO, placed the full function interface USB port in the wrong place in my STX.
That area would hold a phone nicely as long as the port is not in use, but I like it for a flash drive full of music which is right in the way for most any other use at the same time. I think it should be off to one side which would allow my phone to rest in that area and still use the flash drive.
On my last truck, I simply screwed a suitable phone holder to the dash, but it had hardwired hands free and no bluetooth.
The chord is plugged into USB port, coiled up, with just enough left to reach phone port.
No wires hanging. Phone aint goin anywhere.
There is more room to the right anyways.
