Some Honda Fit owners report experiencing compatibility issues with the USB ports, particularly regarding charging and connectivity with devices other than iPhones. These owners note that the USB port with a 2.5A output is primarily designed for charging and connecting iPhones that support Apple CarPlay, which requires an iPhone 5 or newer with iOS 7.1 or later. Additionally, some users have encountered problems when using non-certified cables, as it is recommended to utilize an Apple MFi Certified Lightning Connector to avoid potential issues. While the 1.5A output USB port can also charge devices and connect to compatible phones, many owners find that the ports do not support charging or connectivity for devices other than iPhones, leading to frustration. For those looking to charge alternative devices, it is advisable to seek other charging options or refer to the vehicle's manual for further guidance on USB port compatibility.
