I think they will say that retrofitting will be available in, say, a month, just to get me to take the car and then who knows.... plus I am really worried about them pulling the insides apart... anyone know where the cable will run to from the USB socket in the arm rest...

Am also quite worried about resale value with no USB interconnect... I wouldn't buy it secondhand without the full connectivity...

Bugger!
why would you have to wait until next year? I've heard of lots of people getting their cars in 6 weeks and in general a max of 8 you could easily get your car before December.
