Is anyone using an ipod via USB? I just happened to plug one in to usb port in center console...I'm pretty sure it was charging/playing even though car was not on. Does anyone know if these USB ports are constantly providing power?
I would agree. Similar test with 2020 Touring--front 2 always have power (didn't check back USBs).My experiment was only unlocking and going into the 2020 Ascent Limited that had been sitting for several hours with never touching the Start button. I also left my iPhone USB connected when locking the doors again and waiting for all lights to turn out.
In all cases, the two USB ports in front center console always provided power, but the 2nd and 3rd row USB ports did not.
I would conclude the two USB ports in front center console are always providing power.
That is different behavior than my 2020 Ascent Limited (no Technology package). So do the USB ports in the front center console have different behavior between MY19 and MY20?I just checked my Limited...The Touring must be different for some reason
but once you park and turn the car off, doesn't the radio continue to play until you open the door? Could the USB outlets be wired in a similar manner?
