    Today, I was surprised to see that the USB port in the Prius was having difficulty charging my phone, a Samsung Galaxy S III. In the past, I have had no trouble charging my phone from this port inside the glove box, and now I have to keep unplugging and re-inserting the cable in order to get a charge. Also, I have never been able to open music on it via the USB option on the audio sources. Is the phone compatible with the car? Thanks.

    The SIII can send audio by Bluetooth. I've never tried charging mine or connecting it by USB to the car.
