A handheld electronic device support and connector for a vehicle center console is provided. The support comprises a lid-closable cavity in which a serial bus connector is provided along the lower surface thereof, and the lid secures over the cavity when the connector is not in use. The cavity comprises an interior volume, a width configured to receive the width of a handheld electronic device, and a sufficient depth such that the base of the electronic device is support in an upstanding position. The lid comprises a spring-biased assembly with a pivot point, a spring member to bias the lid upwards, and a lid connector for securing the lid over the cavity when stowed. The serial bus connection electrically couples the electronic device to the vehicle infotainment system and powers the device. The cavity supports the electronic device such that the user can interrogate the display thereof while supported therein.
