I wonder what is your experience charging your cell phone directly from the JL USB port ? Does it fully charge the battery? Thanks.

There should be two under the flip-up door - a normal size one and a small size one. The small one is the USB-C port.

both ports the one in the dash and the one in the center console are fast charging ports along with both being Apple car play and Android auto connection points. oh and if your kids plug there phone into it you will lose the ability to have your phone syncd to car thru bluetooth.

I had an issue, but it was easily solved- TL;DR: I swapped my $5 USB cable for my OEM one and it seemed to fix the problem. Details in this thread.

They all charge up pretty quick. I picked up some USB (red) data blockers from Amazon and they do the trick. Keeping my passengers charged without interrupting CarPlay for me was a blessing.

I use a stock Apple brand USB A cable (the kind that comes for free with an Apple device) in the outlet under the flip up Media panel. It works great, even when using my phone for Waze etc.

i find it annoying that it charges my phone even when the car is off, the owners manual says that the car stops charging usb devices after the car has been off for an hour, but i found out that it keeps charging 24/7.

so i guess they lied to me......

Mine stops charging a couple minutes after the Jeep has been shut off.
