Ours is permanently plugged into the socket in the centre console. Once in place, it truly looks like it belongs there and is original Volvo fit(you've probably seen all the photos already). The console sliding cover still slides over the top of it completely. I was concerned about the fan noise that some have mentioned but I've yet to hear a single thing and I'm sure that I can feel a gentle breeze coming out from the vent on the rear side where the USB sockets are. The addition of those sockets is a nice bonus and when the ignition is off the unit will power down with the car.
