Fuse blow

[VTM]

Does anyone else have a problem with their cig lighter fuse when connecting a car charger? This is the second time I've plugged in my charger and the fuse blew. Please help

Where are you connecting the car charger? Under the center armrest? I have not had any issues charging from there, however I am not using any of the higher amperage quick chargers

He said cig lighter so that means the ashtray area in front of the shifter.

If you're blowing fuses two times I would suspect the charging device first. What is the model of charger? Have you tried using a new or different charger? Maybe the one you are using has a short...

I believe somewhere in the manual says you can only use the cigar lighter to charge for a short period of time, since it's not designed for charging. You'd better be using the 12v slot under the armrest.

Very good point.

If only Audi would get its shit together and just give us a USB port...like every other damn car!

They make a USB AMI cable that you can use in the glove box.

That thing is reactive, not proactive or current.

I'm talking about a real USB port located within the center console/armrest area; something easily accessible to the driver. As opposed to using some adaptor for a socket that was all the rage back in the Great Depression.

Where is the cig lighter fuse? 13 a5 premium and I checked the manual and it shows the fuse is in the rear passenger trunk location and that fuse seems to be good. Any input would be helpful, thanks
