That's why I use my own charger in the cigarette lighter. Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0.

I think there are three generations of USB standards and each newer generation has higher power limits. I'm guessing you've got a latest gen plugged intonthe truck and it's tripping alerts.

No clue about that...sounds like a system glitch or a short somewhere. Sounds like it's time to take it to the dealer.

I have a USB stick with music on it and it gets that error. It did work the first time I plugged it in. Another one works fine.
