USB port charges phones very slowly or not at all
Have a 2014 IS250. I'm new to the forum's so hoping I'm posting this right.
I plugged a USB cable into the USB port in the car and attempted to charge my Samsung Galaxy S4. It barely charges sometimes, and other times when I'm using Pandora etc, it doesn't charge at all and my battery level actually falls.
Anybody know how this can be corrected? Is the power draw out of the USB port extremely low?
If I use a standard DC Plug with a USB cable, it charges just fine.
Thanks!

The USB port does not have a high amp rate. It charges very slowly, especially with samsung phones. I usually pair my phone via Bluetooth and charge through the cig lighter and leave a dedicated iPod in the USB.
