If you're using CarPlay Many newer model cars support CarPlay—providing a safer way to use your iPhone in the car. Some features (like turn-by-turn navigation) aren't available in all regions. Learn more about. If your car supports CarPlay using your Lightning to USB cable, plug your iPhone into the USB port of your car. The USB port might be labeled with a CarPlay icon or a smartphone icon. If your car supports wireless CarPlay, press and hold the Voice Control button on your steering wheel to set up CarPlay. Or make sure that your car is in wireless or Bluetooth pairing mode. Then on your iPhone, go to Settings >General >CarPlay >Available Cars and select your car.

Feb 28, 2013. Most new stereos come with an auxiliary port built in, but if you drive an older car, you're usually stuck with the radio or CD player, and we all know both of those options suck. So, rather than. He used electrical tape to hold the wires in place, then drilled a hole for the port and put the stereo back in place. Leap Download. The catch here is that you'll need to either install the stereo yourself – not impossible, but not particularly easy – or pay someone to install it. And you'll almost certainly need a special installation kit so that the stereo fits your car model. Those can run upwards of $50 or so from big retailers but can be found.

I don't know about the Prius but my car's cig lighter fuse is rated to 10 amps. My USB power adapter's 1 amp fuse will blow long before the car's 10 amp fuse.

(BTW, I specifically looked for a circuit-protected USB power adapter. Some have fuses and some have circuit breakers. The biggest surprise was finding several expensive models that have no circuit protection at all. Buyer beware!) Considering my car's circuit, adding an in-line fuse to your design costs $5. Better to spend a little for protection than to risk ruining expensive electronics. Interstellar Rift Alpha 25 Acp Ammo. But I guess it's ultimately your choice. Good luck!;^).

The 2007 Prius has a tiny 12V lead-acid battery to power the control computer, lights etc. The main battery is a 200V NiMh pack. I forget if the 12V will charge from the 200V without turning on the ignition; I think not. The ignition 'switch' is a smart device that talks to the computer, which needs 12V to run. There is no way to charge the 500V from the 12V - f you somehow manage to drain the 500V one flat there is no way to jump-start or even bump-start the car; it has to be trucked to a dealer and the battery swapped out. But I think if you drained the 12V by leaving your MP3 running all year you can get a jump off a passing moped, or charge it on a solar panel enough to boot the computer. Just wanted to give everyone an update.

I have been using the USB power port to charge my cell while driving. Everything has been working great. The extra load on the12volt circuit I tapped into is only about 1 amp. I could put 4 or 5 of these on the same circuit before I would be worried about maxing it out. I have taken my car into the dealership several times for regular maintenance. No one has mentioned anything to me about warranty or the like, so I'm guessing Toyota doesn't really care about the mod. I recommend adding fuses between anything piggybacked off the original 12v socket, the wire in the loom isnt made to have the current of more than one idem (like and inverter), and while the 10amp peak current wont a constant say 5-8amp (most 12v socket fuses are 15amp) will in most cars especially older models cause a fire or come very close.

If your going to get serious with adding extra power supplys its better to do it properly and add a battery islolator and running dedicated supplys. Having an issolator also makes it very easy to add a backup battery item as most good issolators have a built in switching system (so that the primary is charged before the secondary is chargeds).
