Usb cell phone charging

Is it alright to charge our cell phones with the usb plug in the dash?

 

yes. dogs are a different story however. trust me

 

It's weak, use the port in the center console.

 

I don't think I have usb in the center console, just in the center lower dash

 

This also worked killer in my PreRunner. Fast

I have one of those plug chargers. Works well. Just wondered if it was ok to charge with the usb plug. Have a new Avalon also and it has a usb for charging under the wireless charging tray.

 

i have my classic ipod connected to that usb plug its always charge when the car is on haven't try my phone though

 

Did the plug keep coming loose in the dog's ass?

 

It's just a standard USB 2.0 spec port on the HU. I'm assuming it puts out 500mA. My 5th get iPod charges just fine but it's from 2006 and 500mA is just fine for it.

Most phones will charge at 500mA slowly, but 1A is normal for a smartphone. Where tablets usually charge at 2A, but can slow charge at 1A when not being used.

So it's not going to charge a full size tablet, but it should charge a phone (slowly). Perhaps not a new phablet though, but my iPhone 6s charges alright. It's better used for an iPod or data use rather than quick charging of devices. You're better off getting a 2.1A 12V charger to put in the 12V outlet if you want to charge your tablet, or phone quickly. Like the one mentioned above.

 

Is it the same for dogs? Small dogs can charge with the 500 power but bigger dogs need the bigger chargers?

 

These things are great period

 

Thanks for the info,

 

Thanks

 

Yeah. Shitty situation

 

I have a similar one from Amazon. Like the low profile ... it doesn't stick out and sits flush with the dash.

 

Exactly why I chose it too. Previous chargers blocked the cup holders.

 

Thanks for posting this, I use the center console plus as I am not a fan of things coming from my dash- BUT I dont like how much room it takes up sticking into my console - makes the cord bump into my glock, haha. I'm going to have to give this thing a try and still figure out a way to get my Glock to stand up and be secure in the console...

 

Can the new charging station be added later?

 

Wait just a minute, this is a 3rd Gen forum. My Limited don't need no stinkin USB charge cable, my cell phone charges whenever I lay it down to rest in it's little cubby. Maybe the coolest feature of this vehicle!

 

Well I wasnt lucky enough with the sr5 so wondering if it can be added to a 2016 that did not come with it?
