R2-D2’s dome rotates and lights up; he whistles and beeps (when power is connected and when your device begins to charge; force him to animate by pressing his center button which turns power to the ports on). Flexible arms allow you to customize him to best fit your vehicle’s cup holder. Blue/red LED inside the front radar eye lens indicates USB port power status. More information.
