    My phone shows that it is charging but I just drove 45 minutes and the phone battery did not improve by even 1%. When I plugged it in initially, the phone battery was at 43% and claimed 1 day and 12 hours to charge. What's the problem? It's the same whether I use the 12v or the usb. TIA for the help!

    Function before sparkle.
    Your OEM usb is only 0.5 amps. It will take a while to charge via the port.

    If you have a phone that accepts fast charging, this 21W Aukey stubby sits flusher than most and is fast! We have one in each vehicle even though I did the wireless center console mod, don’t use it much.

    The usb is data only. If a 12v socket isn’t charging your phone, it sounds like you have a problem with your phone.

    Thanks for the replies so far. I just got a Google Pixel 4 about a month ago. Battery life is great on the phone. I got the Tundra a few months ago and the phone charging is my only real complaint so far. I had a 2005 4runner that not only charged well, charged all the time because I did the relay.
