    Hello fellow Taco heads

    I installed a Joying headunit in my 3rd gen and I use the USB port for Apple Carplay. I really dislike using the wireless feature.
    I've come to realize how super slow the power output is on the USB port is.

    Is there a way to increase the power output of the USB port so my phone could charge properly? As how it is right now barely has any juice to charge the phone.

    Thanks

    interesting. So it’a out of stock and will look for an alternative, but meanwhile I ordered these:

    Will look for an ACC on 12V output behind the headunit to connect the positive to, then have the Y splitter connect to the factory location USB port for a clean look. Fingers crossed it works and doesn’t damage the HU.

    What is the output on the USB media port on the dashboard?
    I found it for the 2 chargers in the console as 2.5 Amp and 3 Amp for type A and C respectively, both at 5V.
    Couldn't find it for the usb media port in front.
    Thanks
