Usb c

[RamRebelSteel]

What is the purpose of the usb c connection next the the normal usb2.0? I tried searching on the search function but it keeps telling me my search is too short. But yea...even finding cables that are usb c to usb c are really hard to find. Do they perform fast charging for android phones or something?

 

[revolutionz]

Yes, they are fast charging ports. The usb-a ports are normal charging speeds. The fast charging really helps when using android auto. The cables are all over amazon. Just make sure you get one rated for 3.1 as they're typically more reliable to negotiate fast charging than usb 2.0 cables.

Most new phones and pretty much any device is Type-C now.

FYI guys, this is the cable I use. I was having Android Auto issues until I swapped to it, no issues since.

You could also use them for iPhone 8 and above fast charging. You need to get the apple usb-c to lightning charge cable.

is it just me or does the usb c port charge slow as hell? My wifes usb-c port is even slower than mine. Is this a cable or car issue?

I have tried different cables and both type c ports. Neither give me fast charging on my S8+. They are no different the the standard usb ports from what I see. To get fast charging in the Ram, I have to plug in a QC3.0 115v charger.

You have a phone capable of fast charging and the right cable. There is a handshaking process between the truck and the phone. I suppose it is possible someone doesn't want to shake hands properly.

To get the fast charge you need to get the handshake right . If not it will be doing normal 5V @ 1A. The USB-C port in RAM truck can provide ~15W (5V/3A). I tested with my HP laptop. it's charge my laptop when my Laptop OFF . I haven't test with my IPhone X and USB-C to Lightning cable. I check it when I have time.

For some reason, I can't play music from iTunes w this cable, and the charging is sporadic. When you connect, there are USB options, none of them allow music to be played
Any ideas?

I had this happen once.

Before starting the engine, I connected my iPhone to the usb c. Then started the engine. The phone buzzed a few times and then CarPlay connected.

Same here.totally lame. I bought four different high-wattage USB c cables off Amazon tried them all none of them said fast charging. The only way to get fast charging on my phone is to use the AC plug in. What ********.
