Well going through the forums while getting my oil change.. And it hit me..


Anyone else with a Chevy Cruze (happened on my 2012 and now on my 2014) have an issue with the USB port in the car?

Apple devices work fine. But the Galaxy S5 and now my S6 won't charge properly. The charge stops after about 30 seconds, then restarts.

When it does this the screen goes on and drains the battery.

Wondering if anyone else had this issue and anyone knows how to fix it? (I'm thinking the Cruze's USB isnt meant for anything other then apple products at this point)

It might have something to do with the power output from the USB. It might be enough to charge an iPhone but it's not enough to steadily charge newer Samsung devices. Our 2011 LT only has the Aux port and no USB so can't try it out.

I've tried about a dozen different USB cable including the Samsung ones (on both the s5 when I had it and s6)

Not a huge deal. Would be nice to charge the phone without having to power it down in the car
