Just ran into this thread and found it interesting. I just got my FR-S yesterday and my #1 complaint is the ipod connection and dangling wires buggering up the interior. I am going to probably pull out the HU and route the hookup from the back and try to get the ipod cable into the glove box at a minimum. I would like to additionally keep the front connection enabled if possible but then it jumps into splitting the USB and if it would work. The audio jack can be split without a problem but I'm not sure about the USB.
From reading other posts it sounds like a whole lot of power isn't going to the USB to begin with so if splitting were to be done it would need to be done with a USB hub and ideally would need to be a powered one. I'm going to be searching around to see if I can find a DC-powered hub to patch into the electrical system. That would ideally work better for not only splitting it but pushing more power to the devices to charge them... whether or not the HU will recognize it is another story though...
