How can I connect a charging USB cable while my phone is in this mount? I consider it for long trips on a moto and my bike has a USB port.

You can upgrade your mount to allow your phone to charge while in the case. Please view our Power Plus Pack here: Tigra® BikeConsole Rechargeable Power Pack for Galaxy S3, S4, S5 and S6 Mounts (2800 mAh Li-Ion Rechargeable Battery Pack)Best regards,JillianBike2Power Team

They make an upgraded version that charges while in the cradle. I actually took a dremel to the bottom of mine, which I'm sure is not suggested. I can say that I have riden through some epic rain and mine has remained dry. Once again my solution will probably void any warranty or claim they make about it being wateproof.

Yes, I want to give an advise, at the base of this mount put a double sided tape, a small piece is enough , as I have a bike so for its use I use the tape as it provides a grip on the phone , the tape is easily removable also.

I don't know. There is both a micro USB and a mini USB. Depends on which size USB the product is using. Of course there are also other connector sizes. My Motorola phone uses a micro USB, but that is not necessarily correct for your product.

The USB port is used for any extra device you would like to charge. I use mine to charge my ipad while my phone and case are charging all at the same time. I love it!!

From what I can tell- Moto X is picky about what supplies it power. It wants to either be USB-enumerated (get a data connection from USB bus) or see the data pins shorted together (standard for plug-in USB chargers). This Intsun charger does neither. The USB plug only has two wires- for positive and negative power. The data pins are left alone. As a result I think you will need a different brand of USB-QI adapter for your Moto X. Another reviewer suggested the BLUBOON unit, which apparently shorts the data pins so it's detected correctly...

Hi, you cannot charge the phone with the case on. That said, since presumably you'd only be using the case outside when biking, the charging can take place beforehand while not in the case.

The charging cable plugs into a jack on the window mount. The window mount then plugs into the phone directly.

Never tried, but I don't see that it makes a difference. You still have to open the access door at the bottom to get to the USB port, so you might as well just use the car-charger plugged into a lighter socket. Point is, you shouldn't have to do ANY of those things if Tom Tom's charging mount lasted for more than a couple of months. Since that obviously isn't important to Tom Tom (just as customer support isn't), I'd say save some $$$ and buy something else. Don't forget, Tom Tom still wants a lot of money for map updates, others don't. Tom Tom refuses to service or repair anything out of warranty so your investment isn't worth squat. The only place the charging mount is available is Europe, so it'll cost you big bucks. It may be possible to self-modify the mount so it'll allow you to open the access port to the USB/12v connections -- I did that with the car windshield mount I had from the TT Rider 1 -- but there goes the weather-proofing. If you already have it, I guess you have nothing to lose. If you haven't bought it yet....DON'T!

GeroCzan - The micro USB port can be used to charge the GPS but only when not in use. Were you able to use a car charger to charge the GPS while using it for navigation? I tried but the display changes to a picture showing the GPS connected to a computer. GPS becomes unusable if connected to micro USB. Would be great to know how you did it! I don't care as much for the traffic information if I can use a car charger with micro USB port.

the charging port is USB. your charging cable should work on this. problem with this item i that it does not hold enough charge. my 10000mAH charger lasts longer. the item i received also has only one USB port working.

Yes, I have a usb port in my car so I always have it connected to the charger while in use. It works great while it's charging or not.

Just fix and tight the mount untill you can move the phone with some pressure, then just move the phone to the right or left. The car mount release system is different from the bike/running release system. Hope it help, works great for me!

just like your cell phone. I personally like to use the port on my DVD player to charge it so it's with other audio stuff and I don't forget about it. I leave the USB in the port silk always and presto !!! It's set up to plug in.

Use a USB cable that is rated for your phone or device. Not all cables are created equal.

I use a micro-mini USB cable that came with my cell phone. The USB port is on the leftside toward the bottom. Hope this helps you!!!!!

Well, the charger that I got was a USB to mini-USB cord, which I assume you could plug into whichever USB wall mount you had. This is not a terribly informed answer, but it's the best I've got.

There is an open place in the bottom piece the phone rests on. I am able to connect my car charger. My headphone jack is on top of the phone, so can't comment on connecting that specifically. We really like this mount, using it with note 3.
