Topic: 2017 178 - USB PLUGS Posted: 14 Dec 2017 at 3:31pm |
There are two USB ports on the wall near the TV - they don't seem to charge my phone. Any ideas?

They make USB testers, 5-15 bucks, Amazon sells, I think WalMart does too.

They may require 120 volts AC. They do make DC ones that plug into a cigarette lighter

I've noticed that the usb on my Jensen unit doesn't work well. It cuts off. Did I miss something in the manual which I only skimmed?
I also installed the combo 12 v plug, usb port, and battery gauge (which I really like). So, not a major issue.

I have an older model 178, so I installed 12V plug, USBs and gauge. Works fine. Only comment is my USB ports work off 12V.

It occurred to me that the USB plug on the Jensen is not for charging but only for media input. Am I having a "D'OH!" moment? Where did I put that manual?

YES - the Jensen USB port is for input - not for charging or output. I ordered a USB tester from Amazon - Walmart store doesn't carry them (only on-line).

Yes - shore power. The USB tester should come by Monday so I can check it out.
