If the device is connected using the USB cable does it charge while the car is running?

The USB cable is only for charging it does not convey audio. I use the micro jack for the audio and have cigarette lighter/ USB device to charge the AirWave.

Kimberly, I have mine connected through USB into a plug in my 4runner. I have to turn on that outlet to receive power. If I'm driving and using the device it's charging provided I have the outlet turned on and the device turned on. Come to think of it, I don't know if it charges with the device off and plugged in. I hope that helps. I will say that I really enjoy having it, so far so good without issue in pairing the device with my iPhone 4s.Jason

One more thing, if I unplug the USB from the plug to use stand alone without extra power, but to use the device's charged power, it works fine also.

Yes it will, however the battery in these is very weak, will not run long on a charge.

Yes. You can use it and charge it at the same time. I leave mine on charge in my auto continuously while I am driving. Works well that way. I never have to touch it.

Yes, after a charge it runs without being plugged in, it works both ways. I just wish it had some sort of light to tell you when it needs charging and when it is charged up.

Not in my experience. The device seems to charge just fine while off or on, even while actively playing music. I have never been able to run the battery long enough to go completely dead so I don't know if that is the case with a totally dead battery.

no, but it charges off a standard USB. USB Car adapters can be found for probably $5-$10.

Yes it charges while docked. You plug the vehicle charger into the dock and then stick the phone in the dock.

I think it does. Here's how I used it, therefore cannot answer your question with certainty: I was playing music in the car during a road trip. When my phone was almost out of battery, I would plug it into the iContact Power Bank on one end, and use the audio cable to continue with music. So while it was charging, it was in use. I've never actually tried recharging it without the phone in use, but I am pretty sure it would because it was in use for HOURS during the road trip. Hope this helps!

Yes, the car charging adapter allows you to charge the gps while using the gps to navigate. I hope this answer your question.

Yes, there is another USB port on the car charger that you can charge another device with, if you have another supplied cable.

If its just a charging port, no. My car also has another USB connector in my glove box and that is also connected to my Aux in my radio. I hope I answered your question.

Yes, it does charge while you use it. It will charge regardless of what your doing, just like if you were using your phone while its charging. A standard charger and cable is used in conjunction with this.
1632490
Yes. It can be charged by a DC source in your car or by the AC adapter provided with the device.

No, the USB cable is use for data purposes only and is not directly connected to the battery so it can't charge it.

Yes for sure. Seems like if it's on and I plug it in that it turns off and I need to turn it on again but other than that quirk it charges in car usb outlet, iphone charger plug, any usb outlet that has power.

I use mine as a car dash cam so it is always plugged in a charging whenever the engine comes on. This camera has a car mode and will start and stop recording when it senses power.

It's custom there is no way to charge it other then when it's plugged into your cigarette lighter. I only use it in my car & it charges when I have it plugged in. Unfortunately my car only charges when the car is running whereas some cars will charge when the key is not turned. This Garmen cannot be charged with a USB connector. Newer models may be able to but this one doesn't.

Yes it's only charging won't affect anything else...I've used it while driving & using my gps. works great!
