So this car is fairly new to me. I tried googling my issue but there were no similar problems. To my knowledge, there is only 1 power outlet which is below the cup holders on the dash. **It works**, but has very low output. When I try to hook up my cell phone, it states it is charging slowly, use the original charger. It is. And it's supposed to put out a measly 1A. Not using it at all, I'll gain 5% (2100MAh battery) after a 40 minute drive. This seems unacceptable to me, but I also understand this is an '03 and that electrical demand wasn't as high back then. And yes, I've tried countless high quality chargers and cords with the same results. I also get the same results with multiple phones as well. It's definitely the car's outlet.
So my questions are:
1. Is there only 1 port like I think? Are there hidden ones I don't know about?
2. Is there something wrong with it?
3. If not, can it be upgraded (by someone who understands electrical concepts, but is challenged hands-on. Plug and play highly preferred.)?
4. If it can be upgraded, what is a safe maximum amperage to upgrade to?
Thanks in advance, this problem has really been irritating.
