Does anyone know the power output of the USBC ports both in the armrest and in the back seat of the 2020 version?

Thanks

Sorry not sure but will try and check for you. One thing that I have found however is that when trying to power my Dashcam from the USB Type C ports in the Centre armrest ( 2019 Macan Turbo) the Dashcam thinks it’s connected to a PC in data mode and won’t record. Have to use the cigarette lighter socket which is a bit of a pain.

Maybe try one of these:



Or one of these may suit better (always useful to keep in centre storage):

Many thanks Guy, well worth a try. Have ordered the second type you mentioned via Amazon and due to arrive Monday. Will report back to the Forum once tried in case others have a similar experience. Thanks again.

Thanks. Let me know. Does it charge your phone quickly? How does it compare vs a good charger?

So the dongle you mentioned Guy arrived from Amazon today and it works a treat with my Miro DashCam. It no longer goes into ‘Data Mode’ but provides appropriate power to the DashCam. No problems, thank you !

Haven’t tried it with anything else but has not adverse, or otherwise, effect on charging as far as I can see.

That’s again.
