I put an Alpine head unit in my wifes car. I would like to know if there is a way to utilise the USB in the glovebox just for charging the phone only.

I think that depends if the headunit can support a usb

Yeah thats sorta what I am trying to do. There is no way to use the USB in the glovebox with the USB input on the new headunit.

I thought I wonder if there is anyway of tapping into it and atleast still be able to use it as a charging point for the phone.

Nah,,, I'd leave it in case you ever put the OEM head unit back in - you can pick up a squillion different 12VDC socket chargers for a coupla dollars on eBay...
