USB Ports.

[tsunami]

USB ports can potentially work several ways. Data in/out but also 5VDC power out. Does any one know if the two USB ports can power external devices? If so, what is the max amperage that can be utilized?
I want to use a 10" tablet that can be powered from an external USB port.

I have been unable to find any specs on the USB ports, other than the user manual showing the locations.

I haven't been able to find the amperage rating of the USB ports, but it won't charge my phone as quickly as the wallwart. This implies that it's delivering less than 1.8A.

I found this:

• Mustang is the first Ford vehicle to feature a high-power, 2.1-amp USB port that charges phones and other devices twice as fast as other ports

"B.Crowder": Thanks for the info...I have been trying to use the dash mounted USB for recharging without success. I will be running the recharge cable to the central console instead! (I wonder why Ford chose to use different DC transformers for the two USB ports). I noticed that Amazon.com is selling digital USB current meters for less than $20. I may buy one to double check the 2.1 amp USB in the central console.

Has any Forum member checked the actual amps-out available from the two USB ports?
