A:Answer There is a usb port in the BACK of the unit. It requires a 1 meter cable, which I assume is snaked around to the front/exterior. Not sure how that works or where it comes out. See 850BT manual, page 92. But no, there is not a front usb connection socket in the front panel. I would have the cable installed in the back at installation, just because it would probably be a pain to connect it after the fact.
