Does the USB port output power to charge a cell phone, and does it also play files from a thumb drive.

Yes, it charges a cell phone and takes it like a usb unit (finding mp3 files), but it doesn't play files from a thumb drive (I connected my 500gb drive and it doesn't recognize).

It will charge a cell phone for approximately 15-20 seconds until smoke starts spewing from the unit. Besides this it worked well for around 6months...mine is now beginning to cut out audio on and off...you get what you pay for.

If you mean via USB, no. It only charges and plays from flash drives using the USB. I would still recommend this item though, better than its competitors.

It does not charge my iPhone, I've tried. I imagine it would not charge any other devices either. I believe the USB port is used solely for flash drives.

It does have a USB port, but it is one of the small newer one (micro USB?) and is used to charge the battery in the unit It never occurred to me that it might also be a source of power for other units. I am curious to see if someone responds who does know.

I plugged my iPhone 6 I to it.. Neither plays or charges through this port. However my 16gb thumb drive plays great through it. No issues with the amp itself.

It has 2 USB outputs. It will charge anything that you charge with a USB cable.

Yes. It relies on your phone's GPS for nav apps. There's no other GPS connection. It also plays music and display photos and videos from your phone. Aside from the connected phone, its only media is the disk player. The USB jack doesn't read files directly off a USB drive.

Yes. It is a micro-USB port, and can be used for charging the battery or transferring files.

The usb device would need power such as a cell phone I do not think you can use a usb flash drive

Yes, underneath the grey rectangle on the black box with the wires coming out of it is a USB port. I used it to charge my Galaxy s3 etc. It is slow however. I think next time I may use it to charge a battery pack and then use the battery pack to recharge my gear.

You can charge your phone, iPad, use it for thumb drives; basically, anything that uses an USB connection. Very convenient.

No it does not, it has a HDMI input thats it. The USB is for power only, not an input.

The USB will use an external cable that you will have to run from the back of the unit to wherever you would like to plug into. But, once you plug into it, it charges your phone pretty well. So if you don't plan on listening to music via USB, than save yourself some trouble and just use the cigarette lighter. The unit is a very nice piece overall though. Hope I was helpful.

Yes you can plug your phone in to it with the provided 3.5mm audio cable. It will then broadcast through the selected FM station. You can use the USB port to charge your phone or other device (no cable included), and supposedly to play mp3 media from a flash drive, although I have not tried this personally.

No. There is only one USB port used for both input (charging internal batteries) and output (charging external USB device). You press the power button to select who mode it is in: Red for input, Blue for output.

I don't know. I was so disappointed with the audio quality that I have never used it for anything. I try to keep it charged for that possibility of needing it, but have not needed it yet. I can tell you that it is supposed to charge a cell phone battery and does have a USB port for doing so.
