What kind of amperage is your car putting out? Older cars really struggle to power phones. In some cars, it's possible to upgrade the USB port - otherwise, you may be better off using the 12V port (cigarette lighter) since you have wireless CarPlay available to you.
In my Fusion, I'm stuck using wired Android Auto, so I am unfortunately not able to use the 12V port for charging.
- TylerE 3y agoNo clue, it's a 2017 model so reasonably new. It doesn't even have a cig lighter.
- radlad 3y agoMine is also a 2017 and can barely charge my phone. :(
- anakaine 3y agoYou can get an adapter to change that wired android auto to wireless. I've done this in my ute. Then with my s22 I can use the 12v port with a QC3.0 compatible charger and get above 1% per minute charge whilst still having android auto running. The adapter plugs in to the USB port for android auto and then offers up a wireless connection. Everything is automatic once set up.
