USB Port not charging, but plays audio from iPhone

[scott6760]

I just picked up a 2013 Tahoe LT with the luxury package. It has nav, rear entertainment, and Bose audio. There is a USB port in the center console, and if I connect my iPhone to this port it will play music from the phone but it won't charge it. The phone lights up like it's charging, but the battery percentage actually drains MUCH faster than if the phone was just unplugged. The phone was also getting hot when connected. I was streaming music from the Pandora app, but I do this all the time at the gym and the phone never gets hot. Is something wrong with my outlet or is this normal?

Thanks for the help.

Funny, when I connect mine it charges, but also creates a lot of radio static

Most factory and aftermarket navs put out only 0.5 amps or 2.5 Watts of current and the standard iPhone requires 1.0 amps 5 Watts your phones using more current then its being supplied.

I have 2 factory USB jacks in my 2011 LTZ. They both charge my 6s and one of them allows me to play my phone through the stereo.

my usb charges VERY slow for the reasons above. I use the USB in my center console!
