I have not used mine seriously. Put it in the car, plugged the iPad in, it made
it's happy noise and the charge symbol
went on. And OK with the iPhone.
That's only on the "A" port, of course. The "NA" port is for devices that don't
like the Apple line 2-3 voltage signaling.

My Audi 5000CS Turbo Quattro had a different diameter 12v socket than my other
cars. Have the high end German makers
gone standard, or do you need a spacer/adapter of some kind? Our RV is a
Mercedes underneath, but has standard 12v
outlets, but then, it was made to be labeled Dodge and sold in NA.
I have a couple of little flash lights that live in 12v outlets, and they have
an adapter for larger diameters.
Was the Tahoe port one that's on all the time? Might the ignition have been
off, and the port dead? Seems like every car
I encounter is different that way.
