No I have a USB socket and 3.5mm Jack
But you can get a cigarette plug with a USB socket in the back - not sure if it would fit though depending on orientation
Ive already got a USB cigarette lighter plug in adaptor which I plug in , I wonder if this is why you can skip tracks as you have a dedicated usb slot

Think I'll just take a punt at one of these Y cables and see if it works
I think you may be right - there must be something going on in the Y cable as before I bought mine I connected the Ipod with 2 separate leads.
(USB to multi-pin socket & a 3.5 to 3.5mm jack). I got a message on the radio screen saying 'this cable is incompatible'
So I think the USB is doing more than just charging

You could contact the shop on the link I provided - I did before I bought mine and they were really helpful.
Good luck
will do thanks for the feedback
