Can you upgrade the built-in 0.5amp USB port to charge a phone faster?

Hey,

I have a 2015 Genesis ultimate and an Google Pixel. I use Android Auto (like carplay) a lot but the phone battery goes down very quickly while using it. From what I can tell, it's using an old USB that only charges at 0.5 amps which is 1/4th of what it should be IMO.

Has anyone found a working solution for this such as upgrading the USB port or is my only hope to get a phone that charges wirelessly and get a wireless charging puck for the car?

Yeah, I know. The 15-16 forum didn't have a tech sub forum and I wasn't sure if the early G70's used the same port setup.

The early G70 is 4 years ahead of your car, completely different configurations. Please post in the Hyundai Genesis subforum and for sure you will get better answers to your questions.
