Me I just use one of the few free USB hubs I have laying around that I got free from trade shows with the single USB port. I have a simple 4 hub to charge my BT headset, Phone, MP3 player, and FM transmitter all neatly in my armrest.

Granted the 12V AC adapter also has a 4 port splitter for the other stuff in my car- GPS, XM Radio, Sirius radio, and the USB charger/hub combo.

Yep, I got one at Walmart and saw one at an auto store. Works for USB GPS's.

I have one of these, it's very handy...

BTW - They are only $4.88 at Wal-Mart, the same brand.

I've had zero luck getting the iPhone to charge from these devices... it wants a computer, or it wants an Apple USB charger device.

Maybe it's just me, but I have about three or four single-port car USB chargers cluttering up my home office. Seems like a lot of the gadgets I bought in recent years (phones, BT headsets, navigation system, ...) came with one. I don't think I have run into the need to have two going at the same time, but if needed, my car has two electric ports available...

Thats a great deal, and Scosche is one of the largest manufacturers of car audio accessories, so it should be well made.
