USB power questions

[LimitedGRR]

Am I to assume that the USB ports under the screen are always powered? I have a wireless CarPlay adapter that I would like to leave plugged in, but am afraid of battery drain especially now that I don't drive everyday. Also, I noticed that the USB port under the lid of the center console has enough juice to charge a phone, but does not have enough juice to drive the CarPlay adapter. surprised that Ram couldn't give all the USB ports the same output.

The ports stays on for 2 hours after leaving the truck. #1 port below the screen is the priority port from what i've noticed. And the center console USB is not that powerful, you are correct.

The port under the armrest is also not connected to the infotainment - it is power only. A phone plugged in there wouldn’t initiate CarPlay, not sure the adapter would either

Look at each port there is USB and Battery symbol which tell you what port is for:

1./ Battery mean charge only
2./ USB mean it will charge and connect to Uconnect infotainment
