USB charger for lighter socket that fits?
I bought a nice, short, quality charger that can stay in the lighter socket with the door closed. Alas, it doesn't make contact! It works fine in my other cars.

I think it's due to the diameter of the 'nose' of the charger?

Does Bentley use a 'special' non standard lighter socket?
