612 phone charging

[NickHo]

I did a search on this but couldn't find anything so go easy on me if this has been covered before.

I have recently purchased a 612 OTO and I understand the iPod cable in the glove box doesn't charge a device but if I plug a cigar lighter USB charger into the cigar lighter it won't charge. The cigar lighter works and the cigar lighter USB charger works in another car.

Is there a fault or do I just live with fact I can't charge my phone whilst on the hoof?

Thanks for your replies. I know the plugs charges my iPhone in another vehicle and I am trying with the ignition on so not sure. I will try some other USB plugs that I have in other cars.

fuse blown ??

Not the fuse as the cigar lighter works as normal. Just the USB connecters don't want to know.

Probably too late but you could always use a Scosche Passport Charging Adapter and an Apple Lightning adapter to charge your iPhone /iPod.

Many thanks for that. Still not working for me so will give that a go

On the subject of charging do any owners know how long a 612 is happy to sit without a trickle charge for?

From what I have read on another forum your battery can be weakened enough to give you problems starting within about 3 or 4 days. I don't want to try it so just connect as soon as I get home.
